Share files and locations privately in Discord.
Share files and locations through one-time qURLs inside Discord.
The usual way to do this is leaky
Reaching a private resource from Discord usually means one of these workarounds — each of which leaves something standing that shouldn’t be.
- Public links pasted in channels and forwarded outside the server
- Attachments anyone in the channel can save and reshare
- Manual, per-member DMing of files and locations
Verify the requester, then open one private route
Requester
A Discord user or agent asks for access to a private resource.
LayerV
Identity and policy are verified before anything becomes reachable.
Private resource
Connected to LayerV with no public inbound path of its own.
Temporary route
A single-use, identity-bound qURL™ opens for the approved requester, then expires.
From zero to first access
- 1
Add the qURL bot
Invite the bot with your install link — it needs just four permissions.
- 2
Connect qURL (admin)
Run /qurl setup once to link the server to its own qURL account.
- 3
Share a file or location
Use /qurl send with an attachment, or /qurl map with a Google Maps place.
- 4
Pick recipients
Each person gets their own one-time link, DM’d privately — never posted in the channel.
- 5
Expire or revoke
Links expire (default 24h) or self-destruct after first open; /qurl revoke kills them all.
