F-01
Burn after one view
The first successful open uses up the link. Anyone who tries it afterwards sees a plain expired page.
$ cd ../services
Ephemeral sharing
Ghost Share
Links that disappear on schedule.
Ghost Share turns any file into a link with a built-in expiry. Set it to burn after a single view or after a countdown, add a password, and watch the link vanish so old files stop floating around inboxes forever.
$ cloudeee share ./proposal.pdf --views 1
~/services/ghost-share
$ cloudeee ghost-share --features
What you get.
F-02
Timed expiry
Choose a lifespan from a single minute up to thirty days, and the link switches itself off right on time.
F-03
Password gate
Add a password you share through a different channel, so a forwarded link alone is not enough to open the file.
F-04
View and download caps
Allow a fixed number of opens, or let people preview in the browser without being able to download a copy.
F-05
Instant revoke
Changed your mind? Kill any link from the dashboard or the CLI and it stops working within seconds.
F-06
Access receipts
See when a link was opened and from roughly where, without Cloudeee ever recording what the recipient did with the file.
$ cloudeee ghost-share --how
Four steps, zero fuss.
Step 01
Pick a file
Choose any file or folder already in your workspace, or drop a new one straight into Ghost Share.
Step 02
Set the vanish rule
Decide between one view, a countdown, a view cap or all three, and add an optional password.
Step 03
Send the link
Copy the link into email, chat or a contract. Recipients open it in a browser with no account required.
Step 04
Watch it burn
When the rule is met the link switches off, your receipt stays in the dashboard and the original file stays safe.
$ cat specs.txt
The specs.
~/services/ghost-share/specs.txt
| Expiry range | 1 minute to 30 days |
|---|---|
| View limits | 1 to 1,000 opens |
| Password | Optional, set per link |
| Revocation | Instant, from dashboard or CLI |
| Receipts | Open time and coarse location |
| Viewing | Browser preview, download optional |
$ man ghost-share
Quick answers.
Q01Does the recipient need a Cloudeee account?
> No. Anyone with the link, and the password if you set one, can open the file in a normal browser.
Q02What happens to the original file when the link expires?
> Nothing. Only the link is removed. The file stays in your workspace exactly where you left it.
Q03Can someone still save a copy while viewing?
> If downloads are allowed, yes. For sensitive files, choose preview-only mode, which keeps the file in the browser window and removes the download button.
