VerifiedUpload files for temporary hosting with expiration times and view limits.
What is FileUp?
FileUp is a dev-tools API for temporary file hosting that allows uploads with options to set expiration times and view limits.
It is useful for developers integrating short-term file storage into applications where authentication is not required.
What you can build with FileUp
Share temporary assets in web apps
Developers upload build artifacts or debug logs that auto-expire after a set time or view count, avoiding permanent storage costs.
Handle one-time file transfers in scripts
CI/CD pipelines or automation scripts post files via the upload API with short expiration so recipients can fetch them before they vanish.
Prototype file-sharing features
Quickly test client-side upload flows and expiration logic without setting up full object storage infrastructure.
