About QuickDrop

QuickDrop is a privacy-friendly temporary file sharing service. No account, no tracking, no sign-up. Upload a file, get a share link, set an expiry — done.

How it works

1. Upload a file (drag & drop or click) — optionally set a password and expiry
2. Get a share link with a QR code — share it with anyone
3. The file auto-expires and is permanently deleted — no trace left

Telegram storage note

Files stored via Telegram reside in a private group with a server-side auto-delete timer of 7 days. However, Telegram may cache file blobs on their CDN beyond our control. Once a file expires or is deleted, the share link stops working immediately — but we cannot guarantee its immediate removal from Telegram's caching infrastructure.
