How Clipboard Online works

A quick overview of how clips, files, expiration, and one-time QR access behave.

1. Text clips stay lightweight

Create a short text clip without continuing. The app returns a short token, direct URL, and one-time QR code.

2. File uploads are time-limited

Uploads can be created without continuing. Recipients can open the resulting share link directly.

3. Everything expires automatically

Both text clips and file shares are bound to a selected expiry time. Expired links stop working immediately and are processed on cleanup.

4. QR access is intentionally one-time

Phone handoff QR links are consumed on first use, which keeps quick-access links from lingering.
