Select a file, optionally add a transfer password, then encrypt and upload.
Move the complete transfer link without typing it.
A QR code is a convenient way to hand a PsiDrive transfer to a nearby phone, tablet, or computer. It represents the complete link—including the fragment needed for client-side decryption.
Use a QR code in three steps.
After the link is ready, choose “Show QR code” and keep the display private.
Use the receiving device's trusted camera or scanner and verify the destination is psidrive.com.
The QR code is sensitive.
Because the code represents the complete URL, a photograph or screenshot of it can grant the same access as copying the link. Do not display it in a public place or leave it on screen longer than necessary.
A QR code does not add encryption by itself. PsiDrive encrypts the file before upload; the QR code simply transports the complete share URL between devices.
Good uses and unsafe uses.
| Good fit | Avoid |
|---|---|
| Moving a file between two devices you control | Displaying an active QR code on a public screen |
| Handing a link to a nearby, intended recipient | Posting a screenshot in a public channel |
| A one-time transfer with delete-after-download | Treating the QR image as harmless after creation |
