The reasons why you would like to use temporary hosting to upload images or other types of files can be different. There are legitimate reasons why a person might want to share a nice photo with friends without wanting to send it in chat like Whatsapp or social like Facebook (even if both Whatsapp and Facebook now have the status or temporary stories function), just to make it see others only temporarily.
Then there are the less noble reasons, to send someone embarrassing photos but having the security that these do not remain somewhere on the web and can therefore be visible to others or searchable.
Whatever the purpose, we have seen that for smartphones and mobile phones there are some applications to send messages and photos that self-destruct, among which Snapchat is now super famous.
Clearly nothing prevents the recipient of the photo from saving it with a print screen, i.e. taking a screenshot or a photo of the screen where that image appears, but certainly this does not remain online which is already something.
If you are looking for a way to send photos that are automatically deleted after a certain period of time or after the first visit, without however using applications such as Snapchat, but which can also be used on Whatsapp, via Email or other chat and message applications, then it takes a temporary and expiring photo and file upload site .
Well, the site to be used to publish online or send temporary photos or that disappear after seeing them is unsee.cc quite famous and popular also because it doesn't have many other alternatives as we will see.
This site, unsee.cc, however, is truly effective in its way of operating.
When you upload a photo, you can in fact choose when the images will be deleted: if after the first visit, if after 10 minutes, if after 30 minutes, if after an hour or a day.
The photo becomes available in a specific link that will be the one to be sent to the people who are allowed to see it.
Also, when you upload the photo, you can press the button to preview it and access another set of settings.
By pressing on the bar at the top of the image preview, it is in fact possible to give a title and description to the uploaded photo, prevent this photo from being saved by the viewer, limit access only to a specific IP address.
In addition, the photo page also has a chat, which can be used to exchange messages with the people who open that page.
The even more interesting thing is that other people who visit the link can upload other photos to the same page.
Above each image there is also a pencil button that allows you to draw and write freehand above the photo.
Unsee.cc is a fast, unregistered, free, easy to use and quite complete site in its main function of sending and exchanging temporary photos, which cancel themselves.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The unsee.cc site itself is safe and deletes uploaded photos without leaving a trace.
Who sees the photos can not save them, but can always take a screenshot of the screen and still save the image on his computer.
As mentioned above, there are few alternatives, and only one is truly specialized in the same task.
Uploadpie is a site where you can temporarily upload JPG, PNG, GIF files as well as .TXT text files and .PDF documents.
Also in this case the files and published are visible through a link to be sent to people via email or whatsapp or other means and remain visible for 30 minutes, an hour, 6 hours, a day or three days.
In Uploadpie the file cannot be larger than 3 MB.
Another site that supports temporary uploading of files is Expirebox, which allows you to send any type of file, which is no larger than 150 MB, so that it can be removed and disappear after two days.
There are no options on this site to decide how quickly this file should be automatically deleted.
