🔐 How Burn Storage Works

Burn Storage is a time-limited, Bitcoin-powered file upload service. You rent encrypted space for a few days—then the file self-destructs. No sign-up. No tracking. No recovery.

Upload a file (up to your plan’s limit, e.g., 100 MB) via a simple Joomla form.
Choose your storage plan and prepay using BTC (Lightning), LNbits, or Cash App.
Your file is pinned on Filebase using IPFS tech, and a unique hash is generated for access.
Your file is stored for your chosen period (e.g., 1–3 days), then it is automatically and permanently deleted.
No account needed. No tracking. No recovery after expiration.

Tip: Smaller files mean faster and safer downloads—even on slow or public WiFi.
Need to store multiple files? Compress them into a ZIP (or RAR/7z) and upload that single archive.

Always keep a backup! This service is for quick, temporary, and secure file sharing—not for permanent or reusable storage. When your time is up, your file is gone—even we can’t recover it.

🔥 What Happens to My File?

Think of it like renting a car—when your time is up, the keys are returned and your session ends. Your file disappears after the rental period.

Files are tied to the selected plan duration.
Deletion is triggered automatically via a scheduled expiration script.
You receive a unique IPFS hash and expiration notice when uploading.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I delete or replace my file during the storage period?: No, each upload is for one file only. You can’t swap or delete the file after it’s uploaded. It will stay exactly as it is until the storage period ends.
What if I want to upload multiple files?: Easy—just compress your files into a ZIP archive (or RAR/7z) and upload the compressed file. As long as it fits your plan’s size limit, you’re good!
Can I add more files after uploading?: No, each upload/payment is for one file only. If you have more files, just start a new upload.
What happens if I need to store another file before my time is up?: You’ll need to purchase another plan/upload for each additional file.
Is this reusable storage? (Can I swap files during the rental period?): No, your purchase allows a single file upload, stored temporarily. You can’t swap or reuse the space until it’s expired and deleted.
What types of files can I upload?: You can upload any file type, but files that violate the law or our terms will be deleted. Common types: documents, images, PDFs, videos, ZIP/RAR archives, etc.
Do I need to sign up or provide personal information?: Nope! Burn Storage is privacy-first. We do not require accounts, emails, or personal info. Just upload, pay, and go.
How will I access my file?: You’ll receive a unique IPFS hash/link after payment and upload. Bookmark or save this link—it’s the only way to access your file.
What happens after the storage period expires?: Your file is automatically and permanently deleted. There is no way to recover it.
What if I lose my download link?: We cannot recover it for you. Please save your link securely when you upload your file.
Is my upload anonymous?: Yes, as anonymous as it gets—no cookies, no tracking, no IP logs, and no accounts. Payment is Bitcoin/Lightning or Cash App.
Can I use the browser-based decryptor?: To decrypt your file, go to the Decrypt Tool (decrypt.php) and upload your encrypted file along with your password
