Send a file that deletes itself

"Self-destructing" sounds dramatic, but the idea is simple and practical: a file that does not outlive its purpose. You share it, the right person sees it, and then it removes itself instead of sitting around as a copy someone could misuse later.

What "self-destruct" means here, precisely

When you send a self-destructing share with Fliko:

• The recipient opens it in a locked, view-only viewer (no download), or as a normal file if you choose to allow saving.
• A timer runs from the first open. When it ends, the share stops working.
• The file is then deleted from our storage and backups, and the link goes dead. There is no archive we keep, and no way to recover it, not even for us.

That last point is the difference between "hidden" and "gone." A lot of apps just hide a file behind a setting. Fliko removes it.

Honest about screenshots

If you are sending something truly sensitive, you will want to know about capture. On Android, Fliko blocks screenshots and screen recording while a view-only share is open. On iPhone, Apple does not allow any app to block screenshots, so Fliko does the next best thing: the content blanks out in any screenshot or recording, and you get a real-time alert that one was attempted. We would rather tell you the truth than promise something the platform does not allow.

What it is good for

• Sending an ID or document to a shop, agent, or office without leaving a copy in their files.
• Sharing a private photo or a one-time password reset screenshot.
• Passing a contract or report to someone who only needs to read it once.

You can send a self-destructing share from fliko.in in your browser, or get the iOS and Android app for bigger files and longer timers. For the bigger picture on why leftover copies are the real danger, read how document leaks really happen in India.
