Short answer: A self-destructing file link stops working after its allowed download or after its expiry window. Looslee is designed to delete the transfer after successful download or expiry, with cleanup handled by the service.
How A One-Time Link Works
- The sender uploads a browser-encrypted file.
- Looslee creates a temporary transfer and share link.
- The first successful download consumes the transfer.
- Expired or consumed transfers are removed from the active service flow.
When Self-Destructing Links Make Sense
- Sharing a private document for a single review.
- Sending a large export, archive, or media file without permanent storage.
- Moving a file between devices for a short task.
- Reducing the chance that an old link remains usable months later.
Self-Destructing Does Not Mean Risk-Free
A recipient can still copy a file after downloading it, and anyone who obtains the full link may be able to use it before it expires. Use a separate secure channel for sensitive passwords and verify who receives the link.
Looslee is not a certified destruction service. Its Privacy Policy explains the limits of deletion on third-party infrastructure.
