Every Share Link, Audited
Most “secure file sharing” services are a checkbox on the upload page. Files.com makes the share link the canonical unit — every link is logged, every download is traceable, every recipient can be revoked. The same link works for a customer downloading a contract and a partner pulling a daily data drop.
- One-click share links — password-protected, expiring, with optional max-download caps
- Recipient lists — restrict the link to specific email addresses, not just anyone with the URL
- Notify-on-download (email or webhook) so you know the moment the recipient grabbed the file
- Per-link access log — every download, every IP, every timestamp
- Recipient can upload back to the same folder (turn a share into a two-way exchange)
- All shares carry your branding (logo, colors, custom domain) when configured
Shares survive the messy world.Recipients can be inside the company firewall, on a phone, on a partner’s locked-down VDI, on Outlook Web Access. The download is just an HTTPS GET — no plugin, no ActiveX, no app.
Files.com share links are the most beneficial feature for sharing documents with customers and the best feature overall. The security and ease of use are what stand out most about the share links in Files.com.

What Secure File Sharing Looks Like When It Works
- Apparel / Retail
The best features Files.com offers are its simplicity and speed; it's very simple to use, and we're able to upload content much quicker than any other similar system. Files.com is fast for everything regarding speed.

The best features Files.com offers are the one-time file upload links, one-time file download links, and a user interface that is good for management of all Files.com services. The one-time upload and download links make my workflow easier.
Steven Papadakis, Founder & CEO · NE2NE · PeerSpot Review
- Pharma Services
We use the Dropbox feature for prospective clients who do not necessarily have credentials yet. It has probably improved client satisfaction because there is a single point to upload — it's not coming from multiple sources.

Common Questions
Can't find what you're looking for? Reach out — every support request lands with an engineer.
Email attachments cap at ~20MB on most servers, have no audit trail, can't be revoked once sent, can't expire, and can't enforce a download password. A Files.com share link is none of those things — any file size, full audit log, expirable, revocable, password-optional, and recipient-restricted when you need it.
Yes — that's the default. Share links work with no recipient account, no software install, no plugin. The recipient clicks the link, sees your branded download page (when you've configured branding), enters the password if one is set, and downloads. The whole experience is one HTTPS page.
