Key Features

Everything You Need to Control Documents

Centralized Dashboard

View and manage every shared document, its security settings, and access status from a single control panel.

Access Records

Every open is logged with timestamp, IP, device, browser, and location — providing a complete audit trail.

View Limits

Cap the number of times each link can be opened. Once the limit is reached, access is automatically blocked.

Expiration Dates

Set a deadline after which the link automatically deactivates. Perfect for time-sensitive documents.

Replace File, Same Link

Update the document behind a shared URL without changing the link. All existing QR codes and bookmarks keep working.

Dynamic Watermarks

Stamp each page with viewer-specific info so you can trace leaks back to the exact recipient.

Email Gate

Require viewers to verify their email before access. Only whitelisted recipients can open the document.

Telegram Alerts

Get instant push notifications via Telegram the moment anyone opens a shared document.

Control Panel

Your Command Center for Shared Documents
