Understanding transfer expiry

Every transfer on PDFStore has an expiry date. Once a transfer expires, its files are permanently and automatically deleted from our servers. This is a core part of how PDFStore protects your privacy.

Expiry periods by plan

• Free plan — transfers expire after 7 days
• Pro plan — transfers expire after 30 days

The expiry countdown begins from the moment you create the transfer, not from when the recipient first downloads it.

What happens when a transfer expires?

1. The download link stops working. Anyone who visits it will see a message indicating the transfer has expired.
2. All files associated with the transfer are permanently deleted from PDFStore's servers.
3. The transfer will still appear on your dashboard as "expired" for reference, but the files themselves are gone.

Can I extend an expiry?

Currently, it is not possible to extend the expiry of an existing transfer. If you need the recipient to have access for longer, you can create a new transfer with the same files.

Early deletion

You do not have to wait for a transfer to expire. You can delete any of your active transfers at any time from your dashboard. See Deleting transfers for instructions.
