I just sent a file that no longer exists.

Not deleted after 7 days. Not stored on a server waiting to be breached. Gone — the moment the receiver clicked the link.

Today I'm launching ParaShare by PARAMANT — free for everyone, no account needed to receive.

How it works:
→ Drop a file at paramant.app homepage
→ Get a one-time link
→ Receiver clicks once — file is permanently destroyed
→ Second request returns 404. No copy exists anywhere.

@Mickbeer sounds like a useful sevice, but also like one that has nothing to do with "quantum" (apart from using post-quantum encryption, presumably?).
You still have to take care of the key (well, one time link) distribution yourself, if someone else gets the link they can still retrieve the file, and if your infrastructure is compromised the data can still leak.

@baszoetekouw On the link: yes, treat it like a one-time key. If you share it carelessly, that’s on you — same as handing someone a physical key. We don’t pretend otherwise.
