Access control
Approval-first accounts
New users sign up but cannot enter the product until an administrator reviews and approves the account.
Secure document delivery
Send sensitive files through one clean, controlled flow.
DocShare is a focused alternative to a full drive product — approval-gated access, validated uploads, private object storage, and expiring share links.
- Approval-gated access
- Magic-byte file checks
- Automatic link expiry

Document workflow
Three predictable stages
- 01
Upload
Approved users push validated files to private storage.
- 02
Share
A tokenised link is issued with a fixed 7-day window.
- 03
Download
Recipients stream from the app, never from a public bucket.

What makes it useful
A focused document handoff system, not a bloated file manager.
DocShare stays intentionally narrow. That makes it easier for teams to understand, safer to operate, and cleaner to extend as the dashboard matures.
Storage layer
Private object storage
Files live in MinIO or S3-compatible buckets. The app keeps direct bucket URLs out of every user-facing flow.
Public sharing
Expiring token links
Public access happens through tokenised endpoints with a predictable validity window — never permanent URLs.
Operational clarity
Lean activity history
Upload and share activity stay visible in a clean dashboard, without forcing a complex permission model into the MVP.
How it works
Three steps. No extra surface area.
The flow is intentionally small: upload a checked file, generate a controlled link, and stream the download from private storage.
01Upload
Send validated files
Approved users upload documents through backend validation rules — file size, extension, and magic-byte checks — before anything is written to storage.
02Share
Generate one active link
DocShare issues a tokenised share URL and keeps the active-link lifecycle predictable with a single live link per document at a time.
03Download
Stream from the app
Recipients download through the backend, so storage stays private and link expiry remains enforceable.
