What does ref mean in a link?
A parameter can describe origin or a function; for some services it is functional.
The short answer
A parameter can describe origin or a function; for some services it is functional.
The visible form of a link does not by itself reveal its complete path or purpose.
What to distinguish
Cleaning
Cleaning deals with recognisable additions in a URL.
Redirects and short links
A redirect can be necessary to reach the destination; SafeShare does not promise to resolve it.
Check, decide, share
Understand the link and its destination before changing or sharing it.
Important: A short or redirected link is not automatically unsafe, and a cleaner cannot replace checking the destination.
Frequently asked questions
Can SafeShare resolve this kind of redirect?
No promise is made to resolve short links or redirect wrappers; check the destination yourself.
Are links uploaded?
No. SafeShare works locally in the browser.
