## A quick handoff, with clear boundaries.
SwitchCase Files is for temporary browser-to-browser handoffs—not long-term storage or backup. Choose or drop files to start an upload, keep the tab open until every file is ready, then share the complete link or use its QR code on another device.

The sharing model is intentionally simple: anyone with the complete link can view, add, or delete files in that transfer. Access ends exactly 24 hours after the transfer is created; adding files later does not extend the deadline.

## What the handoff includes
### Low-friction upload
Use the browser without an account or app. Choose files or drop them into the page to start.

### Cross-device handoff
Share the complete link or scan its QR code to open the same transfer on another device.

### Clear shared permissions
Anyone with the complete link can view, add, or delete files. There is no read-only link or identity check.

### Fixed expiry, early delete
Access ends 24 hours after creation; adding files does not extend it. Delete a file or the whole transfer sooner.

## A straightforward handoff
1. **Choose — Choose or drop files.** Start a free transfer in the browser without an account or app.
2. **Wait — Keep the tab open while files upload.** Wait until every file is ready. Cancel or retry an individual upload if needed.
3. **Share — Send the complete link or QR code.** Anyone with the complete link can view, add, and delete files in the transfer.
4. **Finish — Delete early or let access expire.** Access ends 24 hours after creation, even if more files are added later. You can delete a file or the whole transfer sooner.

## Frequently asked questions
### Is SwitchCase Files an owned SwitchCase Studios product?
Yes. SwitchCase Files is an owned product from SwitchCase Studios for temporary browser-based file handoffs.

### What are the transfer limits?
A transfer can contain up to 100 files, with a maximum of 250 MiB per file and 1 GiB total.

### Who can view or change files in a transfer?
Anyone with the complete shared link can view, add, or delete files. There is no read-only link or identity check, so share the link only with people you intend to have that access. An issued download URL may remain usable for up to one minute, and downloaded copies cannot be recalled.

### When does access end, and are files deleted immediately?
Access ends exactly 24 hours after the transfer is created; later uploads do not extend it. Automatic stored-file cleanup follows, normally within one minute but sometimes longer. You can delete an individual file or the whole transfer earlier.

### Is it intended for backups or sensitive files?
No. It is temporary file sharing, not storage or backup; keep your originals. It does not provide end-to-end encryption or malware scanning. Encrypt sensitive files first and share the decryption key separately.
