Many file sharing services provide short web link addresses.
However, file.kiwi does not offer this feature. The reason we don't provide this is because it doesn't align with our service direction that prioritizes confidential transfers.
If web folder addresses are stored on the server, it increases the possibility of accessing the original files through them.
Nevertheless, there are cases where shortened URLs are necessary, such as when you need to manually enter a web address in your browser's address bar.
For this purpose, we now provide disposable short addresses.
For example, it shortens a long web folder address like file.kiwi/d5a99345#s3NNAapa85bcf8PE_FptBA to something like url.dev/8P862Lo. The difference from other services is that the original address is stored only for a limited time.
You can choose to maintain the link for either 5 minutes or 90 hours.
After creation, entering url.dev/8P862Lo in your web browser's address bar will redirect you to the original address, but the connection will fail after the selected time has passed.
This feature uses the API provided by the url.dev service. When created, the web folder address is temporarily stored in this service.
Here's how to use it:
