Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about Glancr's secure file sharing, watermarking, and link expiry.
Can recipients download the file?
No. Glancr is designed around a sealed viewer rather than a downloadable attachment. The recipient can view the file, but the handoff is not built to leave a copy in their downloads folder.
What happens after a first view?
The link is closed and the file is removed according to the expiry rule you set. For single-view links, the file, key, and link are permanently deleted once the recipient opens it.
Do recipients need a Glancr account?
No. The sender controls the link. Recipients can open the secure viewer without creating a workspace or installing an app.
Can I send to more than one person?
Yes. Add multiple recipient emails and each reader can receive a controlled view with its own accountability trail.
Is the file encrypted in transit?
Yes. Files are encrypted in transit using AES-256-GCM as they are served to the recipient. Access is gated by a validated session — expiry removes that access path entirely, leaving no usable copy behind.
Which plan should I start with?
Use Free for occasional sensitive sends. Pro adds larger files, more active links, and longer expiry windows for weekly client work.
