No account required for uploaders.
Clients, photographers, vendors, and collaborators open your link and send files or folders in their browser. No WarpSend login, app, or plugin.
FILE REQUESTS · INBOUND DELIVERY
File request software.
Collect project files by link.
Give clients one browser link for sending large files or folders, with no uploader account or app. Collect submissions in WarpSend, or have them delivered automatically to a folder on your computer or NAS.
NO UPLOADER ACCOUNT OPTIONAL ENDPOINT DELIVERY END-TO-END ENCRYPTION OPTION
Example with automatic delivery to a NAS enabled. Uploads wait in the cloud inbox until the device is online.
WHY FILE REQUESTS
How files reach your team.
Choose where submissions go.
Collect files in a cloud inbox to download later, or turn on automatic delivery to a folder on your computer or NAS. Automatic deliveries arrive in separate submission folders.
Collect while your device is offline.
Clients can finish uploading while your receiving device is offline. If automatic delivery is enabled, WarpSend queues the submission until that device reconnects.
For automatic delivery, install the WarpSend Agent on the receiving device and add its receiving folder as a Share in the app. Connect the device before creating the request so it is available to select; it can go offline after setup. Cloud collection does not require a receiving device.
Incoming uploads use the request owner’s WarpShare allowance. Retention beyond the included term is billed separately for the days served. Compare collection and retention terms.
CONTROL THE INBOX
Set who can upload and how submissions are handled.
Uploaders see the request title, instructions, and rules. Other submissions stay private, as do the device and destination folder you select for automatic delivery.
Reusable request links
Keep one link open for a client, shoot, vendor, or department instead of creating a new handoff for every batch.
Password and expiry
Protect a request with a password and set an optional collection deadline.
Uploader identity
Ask for a name, name and email, or allow anonymous submissions. Uploaders can add a message.
Submission limits
Set the maximum size per submission and optionally cap how many submissions the link accepts.
Pause or close
Pause new submissions without interrupting active uploads, or permanently close the link when the job is done.
Delivery tracking
See what is uploading, waiting for your endpoint, receiving, received, or in need of a retry.
COMMON USES
Collect files from crews, clients, and vendors.
PRODUCTION
Collect camera originals from every crew.
Create a request for each shoot and enable automatic delivery to the studio NAS, with files organized by submission.
CLIENT INTAKE
Collect client files on one upload page.
Send a branded upload link so clients can submit files without shared-drive access.
VENDORS
Receive large deliveries without opening your storage.
Vendors use the upload page without access to your storage or anyone else’s submissions. You choose whether to download their files or deliver them to a receiving device.
SECURITY BOUNDARY
Choose end-to-end encryption when you create the request.
Enable WarpSignet for your organization to create an end-to-end encrypted request. With encryption selected, file contents are encrypted in the uploader’s browser before cloud storage and decrypted when you download them or an authorized endpoint receives them. Requests created without this option do not have end-to-end encryption.
Even with end-to-end encryption, file names, relative paths, sizes, uploader details, and delivery status remain visible to the service so WarpSend can manage the transfer. Read about encryption and access controls.
