Your builder is already messaging you about the kitchen. Upload the drawings, label the transfer “Kitchen drawings — approved September 10,” and paste the link into that chat. Add a note telling them which file to open and when the link expires.
Follow these steps
- 01
Choose the final files
Remove old versions and give the files names the recipient will understand.
- 02
Select Create a link
After choosing the files, select Continue and then Create a link.
- 03
Set an expiry or password
Use them when the link should not stay open or the files are private.
- 04
Wait for the upload
Do not copy or share anything until Transfer ready appears.
- 05
Send the link with a short note
Say what the files are, when the link expires, and how to contact you.
The recipient opens the transfer link in a browser, enters the password if one was set, previews supported files when enabled, and downloads without creating an account.
Keep this in mind
Know what happens next
Copy the finished transfer link
The address at the top of your workspace is not necessarily a share link. Use the completed transfer’s Copy link control after upload and verification finish. That link opens a page made for the recipient, with the relevant files and access rules.
A link can be forwarded
A normal share link does not know whether the person opening it is your intended recipient. Anyone who gets it may be able to access the files while it is valid. For private material, add a password. Send the password through a separate channel, such as a call or a different message.
Write a note that saves a phone call
Tell the recipient what you sent, the size if it is large, the expiry, and what you need them to do. For example: “Here are the final kitchen plans, 180 MB. Download them before Friday and let me know that the PDF opens.” Do not include a password in a public description.
Use expiry and download limits deliberately
An expiry ends future access through that link. A download limit limits use of the transfer; it is not a list of approved people. Very tight limits can also make testing and retries awkward. These controls cannot erase a copy someone has already saved.
If the link will not open
Check that the entire link was copied and that a messaging app did not cut it off. Look at the transfer’s expiry and access settings in your workspace. An expired, deleted, or restricted transfer needs help from its sender; repeatedly refreshing the recipient page does not restore access.
Questions people ask
Can the recipient see my workspace?
No. The link opens a separate public download page.
Can I stop future downloads?
Yes, by closing the link from your workspace. You cannot remove a copy that was already downloaded.
Should I put the password beside the link?
No. Send the password separately so one exposed message does not contain both pieces.
