Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about BoxToss tools, privacy and limits.

Is BoxToss really free?

Yes. All 14 tools are free, with no account and no hidden limits. BoxToss is funded by ads shown on the pages, never by selling your data.

Do I need to create an account?

No. No email, phone number or password is ever asked. You open a tool and use it right away.

Can you read my emails, notes or messages?

No. Content is encrypted in your browser before it leaves. The key stays in the part of the link after « # », which is never sent to our servers. We only see encrypted data.

How long is my data kept?

Temporary emails: 24 hours. Secret notes: until they are read, or 1 h, 24 h or 7 days at most. Clipboard: 10 minutes. Polls: until they end. Chat, calls, meetings, screen sharing and file transfer: nothing is stored.

Can I use a temporary email for an important account?

It is not recommended. A disposable address is perfect for sign-ups, downloads and newsletters, but not for a bank, work or any account you will need to recover later. It only receives emails, and anyone with the inbox link can read it.

Why doesn't my call or meeting connect?

Video goes directly between devices. Some networks (strict Wi-Fi, some mobile carriers) block this direct connection. Try both people on the same Wi-Fi, or another network, and allow camera and microphone access in your browser.

How many people can join?

Chat: up to 20 people (or 2 in one-to-one mode). All-in-one meeting: up to 8 people. Video call: 2 people. Screen sharing: one viewer at a time.

Does BoxToss work on my phone?

Yes, on any recent browser on Android, iPhone, tablet or computer. You can also install BoxToss as an app from your browser menu.

I lost a link. Can you send it back to me?

No, and that is on purpose: we never have the keys to your content. A lost link cannot be recovered; just create a new one.

How do I contact you or report abuse?

Write to contact@boxtoss.com for questions and partnerships, or support@boxtoss.com for help and to report abuse. We reply as quickly as possible.
