PDF Hosting: Link Duration and Retention in Foliade
Understand how long your PDFs stay online in Foliade: uploads without an account, free retention, renewal and catalogues waiting for an available slot.
Understand publication duration
Without an account, a catalogue stays online for 30 days, then its files are deleted. Attach it to an account before that deadline if you want to keep it. A free account guarantees 12 months per catalogue, with up to five online catalogues. Paid hosting is guaranteed throughout the subscription.
Confirm that you want to keep a catalogue
After the guaranteed period, an eligible visit extends publication by 90 days. It must last at least ten seconds with an interaction; bots and previews do not count. You can also confirm retention in your workspace to start another 12 months without waiting for the reminders sent before archiving.
Republish an archived catalogue
In your workspace, review catalogues that are archived or waiting for a slot. Free a slot by unpublishing another catalogue, then republish the one you choose, or select a suitable plan. An archived catalogue retained in your account can recover its address; an anonymous upload already deleted is a different situation.
