The API was built with the intention of providing software engineers and businesses with a simple and easy to use solution to secure file sharing. Whether you're a developer writing an application that requires temporary but secure file storage with end-to-end encryption, we can handle the heavy lifting of storing and the sharing of your files so you don't have to worry about your files and storage anymore.
The secure file sharing API endpoint is pretty straightforward to use. All you need to do is perform a multipart/form-data request on the main file endpoint using the following schema.
CORS is enabled for all originating domains, so you can call the API directly from your client-side.
