[ZendTo] Single-use download links

[Matthew Moore]

Hi,

I can imagine that some of our more security minded users who occasionally use ZendTo to send sensitive data would like to guarantee that it can only be seen once.  So while I wouldn't say it's urgent, it would be nice and I can see people liking it.

Thanks,

Matthew Moore

Folks,

One site has asked me to add functionality to allow them to create drop-offs in which each file can only be downloaded once.

Effectively "one-shot" download links.
Once used, they would not be able to download the drop-off again.

Unless the sender actively reset the "has it been used" status to give them another chance without involving lots of IT support people.

Is this likely to be of use to anyone else out there?

If so, what is your use case?

Thanks!

Jules
