Anonymous drops

A drop made without an account lives 7 days from upload, on a fixed clock that nothing resets. It is capped at 2 MB. Anonymous drops are remembered per browser through a signed cookie, which is how the homepage can still list yours when you come back — and how they get claimed if you sign up later.

Free accounts

Free drops stay live as long as you are active. Each time the owner signs in, a 30-day clock resets. If a full 30 days pass with no sign-in, we email you before anything expires, and expired drops can be recovered by signing back in before they are removed for good.
The clock is reset by owner activity, not by visitors. A page getting traffic does not keep it alive; you signing in does.
Drops never expire. No clock, no email, no recovery window to worry about.

Claiming anonymous drops

Sign up from the same browser and every anonymous drop made there is moved into your account automatically — same URLs, no re-upload. This is why the homepage shows a “Sign up & claim” prompt once you have drops.

Deleting

Deleting a drop is immediate and permanent: the URL stops resolving and returns a branded page explaining it is gone. Anyone still holding the link sees that page, not your content.
