Field notes
The workflow begins with a local file selection and offers separate controls for one-person delivery or multiple recipients. Visible settings include 15-minute and one-hour expiry choices, generated or user-supplied passwords, and a download-password option. The page says no file upload occurs until someone downloads, while also warning that participating browsers must stay open and online throughout the transfer.
