More detail

A simple handoff between devices

Sometimes you just need to get one note or one file from a laptop to a phone or the other way around. A short share link is often faster than opening a chat with yourself or setting up a sync workflow.

Because the link stops working after the chosen time, this also stays cleaner than creating a permanent personal dump folder for small temporary transfers.
