What Is Ephemeral File Transfer?

Ephemeral file transfer means files are not stored after delivery. They are encrypted, streamed live, and automatically removed.

How It Works

Instead of uploading to cloud storage, the file is encrypted and streamed directly between devices.

The data exists only in transit and is not written to persistent storage as part of the live transfer.
