MaiPDF secure internal document sharing dashboard

Every organization shares sensitive documents daily — quarterly reports, OKRs, strategic plans, HR policies, and board presentations. But the moment a file is emailed or dropped into a shared drive, control disappears. Recipients download, forward, and the document spreads far beyond its intended audience.

MaiPDF replaces file distribution with access distribution. Instead of sending a file, you share a secure, browser-only link with built-in controls: password protection, email verification, view limits, dynamic watermarks, expiration dates, and a full audit trail — all revocable in one click.

Secure Internal Sharing in 3 Steps

1

Upload Internal Document

Drag and drop your OKR, policy, or strategic plan. The file is encrypted and stored securely in the cloud.

Full Control Over Every Internal Document

Password Protection

Require a password before anyone can view the document. Change it anytime without re-uploading.

Email Verification Gate

Only approved email addresses can open the document. Unauthorized viewers are blocked automatically.

View Limits

Set a maximum number of opens — 3, 10, or 50 — then the link expires automatically.

Dynamic Watermark

Overlay the viewer's IP or email on every page. Screenshots become traceable back to the source.

Expiration Dates

Set documents to expire after a specific date. Perfect for time-sensitive policies and quarterly reports.

No Download / No Print

Disable downloading and printing entirely. The document exists only in the browser — nowhere else.

Access Audit Trail

See who viewed the document, when, from which IP and device. Full compliance-ready logs.

Telegram Alerts

Receive an instant Telegram notification every time someone opens your document.

Frequently Asked Questions

Upload your document to MaiPDF, set access controls such as password protection, email verification, and view limits, then share the generated link with your team. Documents are viewed in-browser only — no downloads, no copies floating around.

Yes. MaiPDF logs every view with timestamps, IP addresses, and device information. You also receive real-time Telegram alerts when someone opens the document.

While someone could share the link, you can require email verification so only approved email addresses can open it. Combined with view limits, dynamic watermarks, and no-download restrictions, forwarding becomes practically useless.

Use your MaiPDF edit code to disable the sharing link at any time. The document instantly becomes inaccessible — no need to chase down copies or worry about stale versions.
