Abstract
A computer-implemented method performed in a computerized system incorporating a central processing unit, a network interface and a memory, the computer-implemented method involving: using the network interface to receive a content and an associated access restriction from a client computer system directly accessible by a user; causing the received content to be stored in a content storage system; using the central processing unit to generate a self-destructing content link for the stored content based on the received associated access restriction, wherein the generated self-destructing content link is configured to de-activate pursuant to the received associated access restriction; storing a metadata corresponding to the generated self-destructing content link for the stored content; and using the network interface to provide the generated self-destructing content link to the client computer system. The content storage system may be an online content storage system accessible via a network or a local content storage system.
