How to share business files with Tarkle Send

Every file you share through Tarkle Send goes through a transfer. A transfer is the only way to move files from your workspace or device to a recipient. There is no direct file link, no drag-and-drop to email, and no shared folder to sync. You create a transfer, choose what to include, set how it can be accessed, and share the link. That is the full flow.

This article explains how that works in practice, covers the three transfer types available, and maps each one to the kinds of businesses and sharing situations where it fits.

Files stored in your Tarkle Send workspace are not publicly accessible on their own. A file sitting in your Files library has no shareable URL until you attach it to a transfer. The same applies to files on your device, you upload them as part of creating a transfer, not as a standalone action.

This is intentional. Every file you share is tracked, controlled, and tied to a specific transfer with its own access settings, expiration date, and activity log. You always know what was shared, with whom, and when it was accessed.

To share anything, a contract, a design file, a video walkthrough, a music track — you go to the Transfers page, click New Transfer, and create one.

Tarkle Send has three transfer types. The right one depends on what you are sharing, not just what file format it is.

A file transfer creates a branded download page at /t/[slug]. The recipient sees your title, an optional summary, and the list of files. They can download individual files or everything at once.

Use a file transfer for:

You can add files from your device, folders, existing workspace files, or paste external links to Google Drive, Figma, Notion, and other tools. One transfer can hold files from multiple sources at the same time.

A video transfer creates a standalone video player page at /v/[slug]. The recipient opens the link and the video plays in the browser. There is no download prompt unless you explicitly enable one.

Use a video transfer for:

You can upload a video file directly (up to 15 GB) or paste a link from YouTube, Vimeo, Loom, Wistia, Bunny, or Gumlet. You can add a CTA button, cover image, and optionally charge for the download via Stripe.

An audio transfer creates a branded audio player page with waveform visualization at /a/[slug]. Recipients stream in the browser. You can share multiple tracks in a single transfer, set a free preview length, and optionally charge for downloads.

Use an audio transfer for:

The transfer type you reach for most often depends on what your business produces and who your clients are.

Design agencies deal in deliverables: brand identity files, logo packages, print-ready PDFs, web assets, motion files. The file transfer is the daily driver. A typical delivery might be a ZIP of layered PSDs, a folder of exported PNGs, a brand guidelines PDF, and a few Figma links, all in one transfer with a password and an expiration date.

Video transfers come into play when presenting a motion reel, sharing a screen recording of a prototype in action, or sending a recorded client presentation. Instead of a WeTransfer link that expires in 7 days with no context, the client gets a branded video player with the agency's name and a CTA button pointing to the project brief.

Audio transfers are built for this use case. A producer delivering a beat pack creates one audio transfer with all the tracks, sets a free 30-second preview per track, and optionally charges for the full download. The client streams before they buy. Everything happens on one branded page with no third-party audio hosting involved.

For video content, like a recorded session, a live performance clip, or a visual for a single, a video transfer handles it. For contracts, invoices, and licensing agreements, a file transfer.

These businesses share documents: proposals, contracts, NDAs, reports, decks. File transfers are the right tool. The gated access option (requiring the recipient to submit their name and email before downloading) works well here — every download is logged against a known contact in the workspace.

For sensitive documents, the password protection and burn-after-read options add a layer of control that email attachments cannot offer. A due diligence package, for example, can be password-protected, set to expire after two weeks, and restricted to a single download before it self-destructs.

Production studios live on large files: raw footage, project archives, exported masters, After Effects templates. File transfers handle the delivery, the size limits go up to 50 GB on the Send plan and 100 GB on Send Pro, which covers most deliverable packages without splitting into multiple sends.

Video transfers are useful for client review rounds. Instead of exporting a review link from Frame.io or Vimeo, the editor creates a video transfer with the client's branding, a summary of what changed, and a CTA button pointing to the feedback form. The client watches, reads the notes, and clicks through, all in one place.

Photographers deliver galleries and individual images, file transfers work here for high-res packages, but the view-only option is worth noting. A photographer can share a selection for client approval with viewing enabled but downloading disabled. Once the client approves and the invoice is paid, the transfer settings can be updated to allow download.

For behind-the-scenes videos, shooting day recaps, or tutorial content, a video transfer gives the recipient a proper player experience instead of a raw download link.

These businesses share a mix of all three types. Course materials and workbooks go as file transfers. Lesson videos go as video transfers, either uploaded directly or linked from Vimeo or YouTube, with a CTA button pointing to the next module or a booking link. Audio meditations, podcast bonuses, or recorded coaching calls go as audio transfers.

The paid download option on audio and video transfers also makes Tarkle Send usable as a lightweight delivery mechanism for digital products, a recorded workshop, a sample pack, a voice coaching session, without needing a separate storefront.

Every transfer type supports these access controls:

These options can be combined. A contract delivery might be gated, password-protected, and set to expire in 14 days. A beat preview might be view-only until payment is confirmed. Every transfer is independent, so access settings on one transfer have no effect on others.

All transfers you have created appear on the Transfers page under the Sent tab. Each row shows the transfer title, type, creation date, recipient count, and activity. You can open any transfer to see its full details, copy the link again, or delete it.

Files you have uploaded to your workspace through previous transfers, or uploaded directly to the Files page, are available to reuse in new transfers through the Existing tab in the transfer modal. You do not need to re-upload a file you have already sent. Select it from your workspace and include it in a new transfer in seconds.
