Explain what changed
A short message can prevent a long misunderstanding. Name the project and version, explain the requested action, and include the intended file reference or delivery link. The recipient should not have to guess whether a message is a draft review, a final delivery, or a request for new material.
A message does not change file access
Pasting a delivery link into chat does not cancel its password, expiry, payment requirement, or download limit. Give the recipient the necessary instructions and enough time to save the file. If a link has stopped working, review the actual delivery instead of repeatedly reposting it.
Useful detail
Keep requests and contacts manageable
Use requests and contact controls
The chat experience includes conversation requests and controls for blocking and reporting. Check who is contacting you before opening unexpected links or discussing a project. Use the visible controls when a conversation is unwanted, and adjust discoverability through the available account settings.
Questions people ask
Is chat a public comment on my profile?
Private chat and public profile posts are different surfaces. Check the audience before posting or sending.
Can I block or report an unwanted conversation?
Use the available chat blocking and reporting controls. Review requests before engaging with an unfamiliar sender.
Will a chat message keep a transfer alive?
No. File retention and link expiry follow the delivery’s own settings, independently of the conversation.
Keep your next file handoff clear about the version and the next action.
