How to use iLoveTempDrive
iLoveTempDrive, also known as TempDrive, lets you create a private temporary drive for quick file sharing. You can upload files, share a drive ID and password, and let the room auto-delete when the timer ends.
info What is iLoveTempDrive?
iLoveTempDrive is a temporary file sharing tool for short, private handoffs. It is useful when you want to move files between devices, share files during a work or college session, send files to a print shop, or pass files to someone without creating a permanent cloud folder.
Each temp drive starts with 30 minutes of access, supports up to 1 GiB of uploads, and can be extended in 30-minute steps up to 5 hours from creation.

add_circle 1. Create a Private Temp Drive
Open TempDrive and create a new temporary drive. You do not need an account, email address, or app install.
After the drive is created, TempDrive gives you a drive ID and password. Keep both of them together because they are the access details for the private room.
cloud_upload 2. Upload Files
Inside the room, choose the files you want to upload. TempDrive is built for quick transfers like documents, PDFs, images, print files, project exports, and other files that should not stay online forever.
Each temporary drive has a 1 GiB upload limit. If your file is larger than that, compress it or split it before uploading.
download 4. Download, Preview, or Delete Files
People inside the room can download the uploaded files before the timer ends. Supported file types may also open in the browser for a quick preview.
When you are done, you can manually delete the room. If you do nothing, TempDrive automatically deletes the room and files when the timer expires.
timer 5. Extend the Timer if Needed
Every new drive starts with 30 minutes of access. If the transfer needs more time, use the extend button in the room to add 30 minutes.
The maximum lifetime is 5 hours from room creation. After that, the room reaches its final expiry and cannot be extended again.
shield Safety Tips
Share Details Carefully
Send the drive ID and password only to the person who needs the files.
Delete When Finished
Use manual delete when the handoff is complete instead of waiting for expiry.
Watch the Timer
Extend before expiry if the other person still needs time to download.
Do Not Use It as Storage
TempDrive is for temporary file sharing, not long-term backup or archiving.
