Quick share, paste uploads, and DM attach

Hub Library can mint copyable share URLs on upload, accept clipboard screenshots, and attach media into a DM as a ready share link.

  • #personal
  • #notes

Three small paths that remove the “save, upload, open shares, copy, switch apps” loop.

Quick share on Library upload: pick a name, optionally reuse an existing stack title from the datalist, turn on Quick share, and the file lands ready + unlisted with copyable share URL(s) waiting. Same share model as before — guest-friendly links, no account required for the recipient (share links without a memory for the secret).

Paste works on the upload page and in DM compose. Ctrl/Cmd+V a screenshot or file from the clipboard and Hub treats it like you picked it from disk.

Attach in a DM thread creates a ready + unlisted drop under the DM Share stack, mints a share link, and inserts it into compose. You still hit send when you’re ready; the embed preview behaves like any other share URL in the thread.

None of this turns Messages into a file host UI. Library stays the shelf; DMs stay quiet inbox threads with a faster “here’s the clip” button.

Full tour: Inside the Hub. Member space: Hub Library.
