Google Drive folder alternative

A Google Drive folder alternative — no account to view

Google Drive shared folders force your recipient into a Google sign-in prompt and a cluttered interface. A Link in Seconds bucket opens instantly for anyone — no Google account, no permission request, just clean in-browser file previews.

How sharing a folder works

  1. 1

    Drop your files

    Select as many files as you need — photos, PDFs, videos, ZIPs, mixed types all welcome. No zipping required on your end.

  2. 2

    Get one bucket link

    Link in Seconds bundles everything into a single /b/… URL in seconds. Copy it and you're done.

  3. 3

    Anyone opens it — no sign-in

    Your recipient clicks the link, sees every file listed and previewed in their browser, and downloads exactly what they need. No Google account, no app, no friction.

  4. 4

    Control it from your dashboard

    Add a password, set an expiry date, or disable the link entirely — all without changing the URL you already shared.

One link for the whole folder

Instead of sharing a Drive folder that requires a Google account to browse, drop all your files once and get a single bucket URL. Mixed file types — photos, videos, PDFs, docs — sit side by side in one clean viewer.

No Google account required to view

Drive's shared folders prompt recipients to sign in or request access — even when the folder is set to 'Anyone with the link'. A bucket link opens immediately in any browser for anyone, every time.

Clean file previews, not a Drive UI

Recipients see a focused file list, not the full Google Drive chrome. Each file previews in the browser — no downloading the whole folder to see one image.

Password protection and expiry you control

Need the link private? Add a password. Need it to die after the client downloads? Set an expiry date. These controls travel with the bucket, not buried in Drive's sharing settings.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Bucket links have no Google dependency — anyone with the URL can open and browse the files in their browser without signing in to anything.

You can bundle multiple files of different types into a single bucket. Pro handles large files including video and ZIPs, so there is no need to compress first.

You can update the bucket from your dashboard and the URL stays exactly the same — no need to re-share the link with your recipient.

Free bucket links never expire. Pro links also never expire unless you set a custom expiry date yourself, so nothing dies on your recipient before they download it.
