Protocol manifesto
Stateless handoffs, every industry
CarryDocs is built for stateless handoffs: privileged files live only inside the window you define—legal, clinical, financial, creative, architectural, and operational workflows—then they shred. No organizational browsing vault; one link, one protocol, one clock.
What is a stateless handoff?
A stateless handoff means the sender defines the window—files, expiry, optional PIN, optional view-only—and the recipient gets a single link or QR to view inside that window. CarryDocs does not operate as a browsable archive for your organization: when the window closes or the protocol shreds, the carry and linked blobs are removed, so the artifact does not sit in a permanent cloud folder or inbox thread. Legal, medical, finance, creative, architecture, and field operations teams use this pattern when they need delivery and attestation, not long-lived storage on a third-party vault.
Who is this for?
Any team that moves privileged or sensitive material between stakeholders without wanting a permanent repository: executives and boards, clinics and billing offices, counsel and clients, architects and contractors, studios and vendors, technicians and auditors. If your workflow is “hand it over once, control the window, then let it vanish,” a stateless handoff fits better than email attachments or shared drives.
Why not just email?
Email creates a durable, searchable trail across servers, backups, and devices. CarryDocs is built for time-bound, stateless handoffs: one link or QR, optional PIN and view-only, then expiry and shredding—so the package does not live on as an endless thread in everyone’s mailbox.
Is it secure?
Connections use strong TLS in transit, the architecture favors stateless access (no document vault for browsing), and PIN-protected carries include a 3-strike shredder. You still own regulatory and contractual policy; CarryDocs supplies the handoff mechanics.
How long do files last?
Free carries use a two-hour shred window. Protocol Pack users can choose longer windows up to 24 hours. After expiry, the carry is removed and associated blobs are purged.
What is 3-strike shredding?
When a PIN is enabled, three incorrect PIN attempts trigger an immediate shred: carry metadata and linked file storage are removed so the link stops working right away.
What is ephemeral PDF delivery?
A Carry opens an ephemeral viewer for your handoff. Files are not kept as a browsable archive in CarryDocs; after expiry or shred, the link returns a dead state and assets are removed from storage—ideal when you need delivery, not a permanent cloud folder.
What is the Executive document protocol?
CarryDocs’ model for professional handoffs: upload once, set protocol (expiry, optional PIN, optional view-only), share a single link or QR, and let the system shred on schedule or on policy—all aligned with stateless handoffs rather than long-term custody.
How is this stateless file sharing?
Carries are handoffs, not an executive digital vault for indefinite retention. Content exists for the active window you configure; then metadata and stored blobs are removed per expiry and shred rules—across industries, that supports expectations for time-bound access without turning the vendor into your records repository.
