Instant Link Sharing
By default, Wait for Upload is off — the download link is returned immediately, even while the file is still uploading. This means you can send the link via email or Slack right away, and the recipient can start downloading while uploading. No need to wait for large files to finish uploading before sharing.
Example Workflow
Local File Trigger -> File Kiwi -> Slack / Email / etc.
- A new file appears in a watched folder
- File Kiwi creates an encrypted link and returns it instantly
- The link is sent via Slack, email, or any other service — upload continues in the background
- The recipient opens the link and can start downloading as the upload progresses
