Temporary file sharing.
Share a file for as long as you need it — then let it disappear automatically.
No forgotten uploads. No permanent cloud folder required.
100,000+ easy transfers already.
From one device to another.
No cables. No complicated setup.
Temporary by design.
A file you only need to hand over doesn't have to live online forever.
On pendrive.zip every file has a defined lifetime. When it's up, the file is deleted automatically.
Think of it as a temporary USB drive in your browser, not another permanent cloud drive.
Upload → share → download → gone.

Temporary transfer or permanent storage?
Both are useful. They just solve different problems.
Temporary file sharing
Best when:
- • You need to move a file
- • Someone needs to download something
- • You don't need long-term storage
- • You want the upload to expire automatically
Permanent cloud storage
Best when:
- • You want to keep files long term
- • You need ongoing organization
- • You collaborate on persistent documents
- • You need a permanent archive
Use cloud storage when you want to keep the file.
Use pendrive.zip when you just need to get it from here to there.
Used for real work. Every day.
From trading desks to client work, pendrive.zip keeps everyday file transfers simple.
“I run trading systems on multiple VPS machines, and pendrive.zip has become the quickest way to move files between them. I just drop a file on one machine and pick it up on another. No email, no cloud-drive folders, no hassle.”
BálintTrader 
“Clients always find a way to make file sharing complicated. With pendrive.zip I can just give them one address and a PIN. They open it, drop the files in, and I'm done.”

“I use pendrive.zip when I need to get photos to a client quickly. I send them my link and PIN, upload the files, and they can download everything without creating an account or figuring out another app.”

Temporary doesn't mean public.
Every pendrive.zip room is protected with a PIN. To open it, a visitor needs both the room address and the PIN — the address on its own doesn't give access to the files.
Send a file — or let someone send one to you.
Upload a file and give someone your room address and PIN. Or hand them the room and let them upload a file for you.
The other person doesn't need an account.

Questions
What is temporary file sharing?
Temporary file sharing means uploading a file so someone can download it, with the file deleted automatically after a set time. It's for moving or handing over a file, not for keeping it online long term.
How long are files stored on pendrive.zip?
Without an account, files are deleted after 10 minutes by default; the uploader can keep them for up to 1 hour. Free accounts can keep files for up to 1 hour, and Premium users for up to 1 week.
Are files deleted automatically?
Yes. When a file's retention period ends, pendrive.zip deletes it automatically. You don't need to come back and remove it yourself.
Can I choose how long a file stays available?
Yes. Use Keep longer on a file to extend it. Without an account you can extend up to 1 hour, Free accounts up to 1 hour, and Premium users can choose 10 minutes, 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week.
Can I share a temporary file without creating an account?
Yes. Choose a room name, set a PIN and drop your file. No account or email address is needed to start.
Can someone upload a temporary file to me?
Yes. Give them your room address and PIN, and they can drop a file into the room for you. They don't need an account either.
Are temporary files public?
No. A room is protected by a PIN. Knowing the room address alone does not give access to the files — a visitor needs both the address and the PIN.
How large can temporary files be?
Without an account and on Free, files can be up to 10 MB each. Premium plans have no separate per-file limit; the available storage in your plan is the effective limit.
Can I use temporary file sharing between my own devices?
Yes. Drop a file on one computer or phone, then open the same room on your other device, enter the PIN and download it.
What is the difference between temporary file sharing and cloud storage?
Cloud storage is for keeping files: organizing them, collaborating and archiving. Temporary file sharing is for getting a file from here to there, then letting it disappear automatically.
Do I need to install software?
No. pendrive.zip works in a modern web browser. A desktop app is coming soon; no installer is available yet.
