Abstract
A server receives a request from a first client device for a file access code. The server generates the file access code, including associating a validity time period with the file access code. The server associates the file access code with a user account at the server and transmits a response to the first client device including the file access code. The server receives, from the first client device, information corresponding to an electronic file. Based on determining that the validity time period for the file access code has not elapsed, the server generates an association between the electronic file and the file access code. The server receives, from a second client device, the file access code. Based on determining that the validity time period of the file access code has not elapsed, the server identifies the electronic file and enables the second client device to access the electronic file.
