What’s new

News

Every change to the bot and the site stays here, newest first. Short and to the point: what changed and what it changes for you.

Forward in batches: thirty files, thirty links

A forwarded batch used to lose everything after the first file — the flood guard quietly ate the rest. The bot now treats a batch as a batch and answers in a single conversation.

  • The bot waits for the stream of files to go quiet and takes everything in one pass: one album, three albums of ten, or thirty separate forwards — it makes no difference.
  • The flood guard no longer touches files. It was meant to stop chatter but hit forwarding instead; the upload queue handles the load on its own.
  • One answer comes back: a counter, «Uploading 12/30», then the list of links. Too many for one message — the rest follow in the next one, and none go missing.
  • The daily limit no longer rejects a whole batch because of one file too many: whatever fits goes up, and the bot names the rest.

A week of storage, files up to 20 MB

Without a connected cloud a file now lives a week instead of a month — and in exchange the storage accepts everything Telegram is willing to hand over.

  • The server used to refuse anything heavier than a couple of megabytes while the person read «storage unavailable». The ceiling is now 20 MB, and when a file still does not fit, the bot states the real reason.
  • Expired files are swept on a schedule rather than by somebody else’s random upload: a week means a week.
  • A dropped connection no longer kills an upload — the bot quietly tries again.
  • Need it kept for good? /connect: in your own cloud the link lives until you delete it yourself.

The same bot, now in MAX

Lnk2Drv has arrived in the MAX messenger. Nothing about the routine changes: send a file, get a link, and /connect hooks up your cloud.

  • It runs as a separate process on shared code: its own token, its own database, its own access lists. The Telegram bot carries on exactly as before.
  • MAX and Telegram accounts are unrelated, so the cloud is connected separately in each messenger.
  • Next on the list: Slack, Discord and Teams.

A link with nothing to set up

Connecting a cloud is no longer required. You can send the first file right now: it lands on our server and comes back as a link in the same chat.

  • Nothing to answer, nothing to configure — just forward the file.
  • Want files kept for good and in your own account? /connect is still there: from that moment everything goes to your Google Drive or Yandex Disk.
  • Files sit under random names and the link is indexed nowhere — but anyone holding it can open it.

The site now speaks five languages

Russian, English, German, Spanish and Arabic — with the writing direction it deserves. The language picks itself: your choice first, then the browser, and only then the country.

  • A choice in the switcher is remembered for a year, so you only switch once.
  • The Arabic version is not a mirror image but its own layout: RTL, its own typeface, its own spacing.
  • The country comes from a range database built into the site, with no calls to anyone else’s service.
  • The cloud sign-in page moved to the site as well: the bot needs neither a domain of its own nor a public IP.

The bot is open: a file in chat, a link from your own cloud

Forward a file to the bot — it puts the file into your Google Drive or Yandex Disk and answers with a download link. Not onto some shared service drive: into your account.

  • One /connect per cloud: the provider’s consent page, about forty seconds — after that there is only forwarding.
  • In Google Drive the bot works in drive.file mode and can physically see nothing but what it put there itself. On Yandex Disk it keeps to its own folder.
  • /my lists recent uploads with a «Delete» button: the file leaves the cloud and the link stops opening.
  • Tokens are stored encrypted and refresh themselves. You can revoke access at any moment — the files stay with you.
