No account vs. free account
Quick Share gets a link out fast. An account gets you more.
Both are free. Quick Share needs nothing but a file. A free Encrypted Share account adds 10× the storage, a bigger per-file limit, browser-side encryption we can't read even if we wanted to, and a dashboard to manage or revoke every link you've sent.

| Download notifications | Yes, to an email you enter at upload | Yes, to your account email automatically |
| Manage or revoke links later | Only via the delete link shown at upload time | Yes — a dashboard lists every file with size, expiry, and downloads, and revokes any of them on demand |
Pick Quick Share if…
You need a link right now
Sending something once, to someone you trust, and don't want to think about it again. No sign-up, no dashboard to check later.
Pick Encrypted Share if…
The file is sensitive, or you send often
Contracts, IDs, financial documents, anything you'd rather we couldn't read even if compelled to. Or you just want one place to see and revoke everything you've sent.
