Blocked use

Public URL infrastructure needs clear abuse boundaries.

Do not upload or distribute illegal content, malware, stolen data, harassment, non-consensual intimate content, copyright-infringing material, or content that bypasses another service's access controls.

01

Malware and harmful files

Scanner rollout is fail-closed where configured, but no malware-free public claim is made before provider validation.

02

Sensitive data

Users should avoid uploading sensitive data unless their workspace controls, retention, and contract allow it.

03

Copyright

Rights holders should provide exact URLs and ownership context for review.

Response

Abuse reports feed the operational review path.

Valid reports can trigger file review, delivery revocation, deletion tombstones, account restrictions, and admin operational notices.

01

Exact URL required

The fastest path includes the full GetFileURL or CDN URL.

02

Audit trail

Actions taken through admin workflows are recorded for accountability.

03

Customer impact

Operational notices and status updates are used when abuse actions affect broader service behavior.

FAQ

Common questions

How do I report a file?

Do you scan every file today?

Scanner interfaces exist, but provider behavior and claims remain gated by scanner validation.
