Who can access files I send with MyAirBridge?
By default, anyone who has the download link can open the transfer. That is what makes link sharing convenient, and it is why MyAirBridge provides password protection, expiration control, and end-to-end encryption to narrow that access.
How link-based access works
A transfer link contains a unique identifier that is effectively impossible to guess. It is not published anywhere and search engines do not index it.
In practice this means the link behaves like a key: whoever holds it can download the data, and whoever does not have it cannot find the transfer.
The risk is therefore not that someone will stumble upon your files, but that a link gets forwarded further than intended.
How to restrict access further
Password protection
Available from the Pro plan. Without the password the data cannot be downloaded, even by someone holding the link.
Expiration
Available from the Basic plan. A short expiration limits how long a forwarded link stays useful. Free transfers expire after three days.
End-to-end encryption
Available from the Pro plan. The content stays unreadable to anyone except the sender and the intended recipient.
Sending to named recipients
Instead of distributing a link yourself, you can have the transfer delivered to specific email addresses.
Shared folders and teams
Shared folders work differently from transfers. Access is granted to specific people, and each of them can be given read-only or read and write permission.
Team members added to an account get access to the storage that has been allocated to them, and access can be revoked centrally.
What the service can see
Operating a storage service requires holding the data on servers. When end-to-end encryption is used, the content is encrypted before it leaves the sender and cannot be read on the way or at rest.
For material where that guarantee matters, end-to-end encryption on Pro or Enterprise is the appropriate option.
FAQ
Can anyone find my transfer without the link?
No. Transfer links are unique, are not published, and are not indexed by search engines.
What if someone forwards my link?
Whoever holds the link can download the data unless it is protected with a password, has already expired, or is end-to-end encrypted.
Can I revoke access after sending?
Yes. Files can be deleted from storage, and transfers stop being available once they expire.
Summary
Access to a MyAirBridge transfer follows the link, which makes sharing simple and means that forwarding is the real risk. Password protection, expiration, end-to-end encryption, and delivery to named recipients are the controls that narrow access to the people you intend.
