Security Controls

Media2URL uses file type restrictions, plan limits, presigned upload flows, size checks, rate limits, and storage permissions to reduce unsafe uploads and accidental overuse. Some high-risk file types may be blocked or limited because they can be used for malware, phishing, or browser-based attacks.

Uploaded files may be given controlled storage keys instead of relying on original names alone. That helps avoid collisions, disclosure through predictable paths, and accidental replacement of the wrong object.

Public links are designed for sharing, private links are tied to account access, and expiring links can stop access after the selected time. These settings are useful, but they only work when users choose the right mode for the file.

Do not upload secrets, private keys, credential exports, government IDs, or highly sensitive records unless you fully understand the sharing mode and retention behavior. A public URL can be copied beyond your control.

Media2URL keeps abuse and DMCA intake paths so harmful files can be reviewed. When a report is credible, the service may disable the link first and finish review afterward, especially if the material involves child safety, malware, phishing, threats, or non-consensual content.

Security-related reports should include the exact URL, what happened, and any safe supporting evidence. Do not send live malware samples or illegal material as attachments unless specifically requested through a secure process.

Use strong login protection, keep upload sessions private, remove old uploads, choose expiry dates, and avoid sharing private links through public channels. If a file should not be public, treat the link like a credential.

Report suspicious account activity quickly. Faster reports make it easier to revoke sessions, disable links, review logs, and prevent a small incident from becoming a larger exposure.
