# File transfer

A transfer sends one or more files to people by link. Recipients open the link and download. Senders can set an expiry and protection, and follow downloads.

**Not in the API yet.** The feature exists in Tarkle. Its API is planned and this page shows where it will live.

## API coverage

| What | Status | Where |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Create a transfer | Planned | [Not in the API yet](/docs/api/planned) |
| List and read transfers | Planned | [Not in the API yet](/docs/api/planned) |
| Read downloads of a transfer | Planned | [Not in the API yet](/docs/api/planned) |
| Delete a transfer | Planned | [Not in the API yet](/docs/api/planned) |

The Files API already respects transfers. A file held by an active transfer cannot be deleted until you confirm with `confirm_delete_transfers=true` (see [Files](/docs/api/files)).

## Access

No API scope exists yet. Every call will also name a workspace (see [Authentication](/docs/get-started/authentication)).
