I would love the ability to create a secret from a photo, so that I can take a photo of part of my computer screen, crop it to the text of interest, then save the cropped image and the OCR of the cropped image as a secret.
Q: Is it possible to keep the secrets, the files, permanently?
Is it possible to maintain some files permanently in the storage in the cloud? There are books, guides that we share with our students and we need to have just the ability to share with them but I'd like to have it forever, those PDFs online in order they can download them when they want, no expiration date. Is it possible to do that or do we have to continuously re-upload the same file because it's going to expire automatically? Thank you.

A: Hi there,
InPrivy is primarily meant for short-term storage and quick sharing. However, you are free to set an expiration date far in the future and disable the opening limit.
No updates and due to very high costs, no immediate plans get certified. We don't have 40k+ to spent on various certificates requested by some of our (potential) customers. We simply don't make this kind of money by selling discounted products via AppSumo.
Q: Am I able to use an InPrivy link on a button on my website?
If yes, how many documents would someone be able upload at once and do I receive an alert - email letting me know that my client has uploaded a document or documents? thank you

A: Hi there,
What do you mean by "link on a button"? You can create a Public Sharing URL and link to that. And yes, you can enable notifications (see "Inbox") to get an email when something was shared via that link.
Hello. Suppose I want to sell ebooks. I store my ebooks on AWS S3 or Supabase or something similar, I have a website where I sell my ebooks, and the service I use for my website/selling ebooks has an email automation tool built in. Can I use Zapier or Pabbly Connect to automate the following (1) when an ebook is purchased then (2) a shareable link in generated from AWS S3 or Supabase (3) this link...

A: Hi there,
The InPrivy part in this scenario is quite small and I cannot answer the other parts. But as for #3, that's possible via our API (no file upload though). The rest is automation via a tool like Zapier and has nothing to do with InPrivy.
Anders, thank you for replying. This is a bulk use case, I was trying to find out whether download links for ebooks could be secured with InPrivy via shareable secrets as a more affordable alternative to DRM encryption for ebooks in order to discourage piracy.
Q: OCR feature

Thank you. What I mean is to place a link (button or word) “upload documents” on my site. How many documents can be uploaded at once?
There is a limit of 10 files per share, with a size limit of 500 MB per file and it counts towards your account storage.
