Short links
The Links page lists your short links. It needs the Shorten links permission.
Shorten link creates one:
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| URL | The target. Only http:// and https:// addresses, up to 2048 characters. |
| Short link | The code after /s/. Leave Random for a generated code, or type up to 32 letters, numbers, dashes or underscores. |
| Password | Visitors must enter it before they are sent on. |
| Max clicks | The link is deleted at the click that reaches it. 0 means unlimited. |
| Expiration | The link stops working after this time. |
The short link (/s/<code>) is copied to the clipboard when it is created. Each link shows its Clicks; your own clicks while logged in are not counted. Edit changes everything above and applies right away.
Short links redirect straight to the target, so apps like Discord show the target's preview. Password protected links show a page that asks for the password first.
Links use one of your custom domains when you have some.
You can also shorten links from ShareX, the macOS and Linux scripts (--link), Fileship for Windows, the browser extension, the Android share sheet and the API.
