share link. Recipients download for free without any account. Files auto-delete
when the paid period expires.

2. Upload files (up to 10 GB per drop).
3. Choose storage duration and see a transparent price quote.
4. Pay in USDC via x402 on Base or Arbitrum One.
5. Get a unique share link for free downloads.
