Retention that matches a temporary transfer.
A file-transfer service should not be mistaken for a backup. PsiDrive uses explicit expiration and cleanup states so a guest transfer is designed to stop being available.
The sender can request deletion after the first successfully completed download—not merely after a link is opened.
The backend cleanup process handles expired transfers, abandoned uploads, and files queued for deletion.
Choose the right deletion behavior.
Start the normal encrypted transfer flow.
Enable “Delete after first successful download” for a one-recipient handoff.
Anyone with the complete link and any required password can attempt access while active.
