Show HN: Upload your PDF and get a shareable link

I think it’s a great idea and your implementation is nice. But, and this is just my own personal take, I would not feel comfortable uploading any personal information - which is likely to be the case with PDFs.

May I suggest at least stating a privacy policy.

No DMCA process, and totally won't be abused for illegal content.

Take down in 3, 2, …

HI, congratulations for the idea and simplicity of Doc2Link. I have some questions: - are the links temporary? - Can I be one click? - Are you able to support the project even if it is free?

Thank you

Congratulations, is it a short link service that could accept any file extensions instead of PDF only? Are there any special features works on PDF format?

Could accept any type of file, just started with PDFs as it's the most popular

Not sure what the e-mail confirmation flow does but your upload leaks the fileId that can be used to construct the target URI without it.

There are documents in here with PII. Be very careful OP, you're exposing a lot.

How is SQL Injection still a thing for new projects in 2024?

Can you let me know where you were able to gain access? Just trying to learn - thanks

Will only show for verified docs now thanks

Nice work. Your example pdf seems to be deleted?

How do you keep your “100%” free promise? At some point you will have a lot of storage to pay for?

Betting money it will be offline permanently in 24 hours.

Chances this is a shonky attempt to drag new training data from private users?

Why is this free? Hella sus…

Whats the benefit of this over something like WeTransfer?

I think the difference is that WeTransfer requires you download the pdf before viewing it, whereas this site lets you view the pdf in-browser (and page 1 can be viewed before the whole thing is downloaded).

That is a feature of modern browsers, but the mime type has to be set right for the browser to not treat it like a download.

Probably a spy /s
