What is iLoveTempDrive?

iLoveTempDrive is a free temporary file sharing tool that lets you create private drives for short, zero-trace file transfers between devices. You create a drive, get a four-character drive ID and a numeric password, and anyone you give those two things to can open the same drive and pick up the files.

There is no account, no email address and no app to install. Because every drive deletes itself on a timer, iLoveTempDrive is built for the handoff you do not want to keep: moving a file from a phone to a desktop, passing a document to someone sitting next to you, or getting something off a borrowed computer without leaving it in a download folder or a chat history.

How temporary file sharing works

  1. Create a drive. Drop your files onto the panel above, or create an empty drive first. You get a drive ID such as A8F9 and a numeric password.
  2. Share the two codes. Send the drive ID and password to whoever needs the files, or type them into your other device yourself. Up to five devices can be connected to one drive at a time.
  3. Download from any device. Files upload straight to object storage, so large transfers are not limited by the web server, and downloads stream at full speed.
  4. Let it expire. When the timer runs out the drive and every file in it are deleted automatically. You do not have to remember to clean anything up.

When a temporary drive is the right tool

Phone to computer, or back

Moving a photo, video or PDF between your own devices without emailing it to yourself or plugging in a cable.

Handing a file to someone in the room

Read two short codes out loud instead of collecting an email address or adding somebody to a shared folder.

Using a computer that is not yours

Pull a file down on a library, hotel or office machine without signing into a personal cloud account on it.

One-off transfers you do not want kept

Anything that should not sit in a chat thread or a cloud drive indefinitely, because the drive removes it for you.

Frequently asked questions

How long do iLoveTempDrive files last?

Rooms start with 30 minutes of access and can be extended in 30-minute steps up to 5 hours max. Files are automatically purged when the timer ends.

Is an account required?

No account, registration, or app installation is required to use iLoveTempDrive.

How large can a file be?

A single drive holds up to 1 GiB. Uploads go directly to object storage rather than through the web server, so large files transfer at the speed of your own connection.

Can I get a file back after the drive expires?

No. Expiry is permanent and deletion is the point of the product, so keep your own copy of anything you still need. Extend the drive before the timer runs out if you need more time.

Who can open my drive?

Anyone holding both the drive ID and the password. Treat them together as one secret, share them only with the person receiving the files, and delete the drive yourself as soon as the transfer is done if you want it gone sooner.
