Cross-platform cloud file sharing — Use case summary

Mainstream cloud services like Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive offer rich storage and syncing features. However, they often lack in temporary secure sharing such as one-time access, password protection, and watermarking. For example, Dropbox is great for collaboration but offers limited free space and requires payment for advanced features.

If you're a designer, lawyer, or finance professional who often sends confidential PDFs, contracts, or videos, one-time viewing, short URLs, and watermarking become very useful. Secure sharing platforms like Proton Drive offer end-to-end encryption, password-protected links, and revocable access—ideal for high-privacy needs.

For content creators or those who need to send large files, WeTransfer and Smash offer easy, no-signup, smooth transfer features. Smash even supports unlimited file sizes, 7-day free availability, and password protection—making it a strong alternative to WeTransfer.

If you seek ultimate anonymity and private transfers, OnionShare is an option. It shares files peer-to-peer via the Tor network, without going through any central server—ideal for confidential exchanges or whistleblower uploads.

Cryptee and Tresorit offer client-side end-to-end encryption and zero-knowledge architecture—ideal for protecting private journals, photos, or sensitive documents. Perfect for users with strong security awareness.

Summary of all the above tools' features:

  • Google Drive / Dropbox / OneDrive: General storage and team collaboration with version control and file preview.
  • Proton Drive: Free end-to-end encryption and secure sharing options.
  • Smash / WeTransfer: Direct large file transfer, fast and temporary links.
  • OnionShare: Anonymous P2P sharing over Tor, no server dependency.
  • Cryptee / Tresorit: Zero-knowledge encryption and private storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

How large can shared files be?

Each file must be under 15MB. Images, PDFs, and videos are all supported. For larger files, compress or split them before uploading, and use Peekaboo’s limited-view and watermark features.

Can I use Peekaboo to send encrypted files?

Yes! You can encrypt the file yourself before uploading, or use Peekaboo’s password protection so only recipients with the password can view the content—with limited view times.

Do I need to register an account to use Peekaboo?

No! Peekaboo is registration-free. Just upload your file, and a short link with password settings is instantly created—fast and convenient.

Why not just use Google Drive or Dropbox?

Traditional cloud services are convenient but lack one-time view, view limits, or watermarking. For short-term, high-privacy needs, Peekaboo is more secure and efficient.

Do Peekaboo links expire?

Yes. You can set a time limit (e.g., 3 days) or view count (e.g., max 50 views). The system automatically disables expired links to prevent leakage.
