Frequently asked questions

What’s the difference between a Send Link and a Share Link?
Send Links and Share Links function similarly, with one important difference. With Share Links, the file is hosted directly from your storage account and downloaded from there. With Send Links, you specify a temporary Couchdrop-hosted location in the Admin console and users will download from this secure location instead.
What happens when a link expires?
When a link reaches its expiration time or usage limit, anyone attempting to access it will receive a message on the portal explaining that access has expired. You can manually extend expiration dates or unlock one-time use links for an additional use in the link settings.
How does the “Restrict Allowed Emails” option work?
The “Restrict Allowed Emails” option is an optional email whitelisting feature. Only emails on the allow list can access the download portal when this is turned on. When enabled, anyone using the link will have to enter their email first. If on the allow list, the email will be sent a one-time access code to access the download portal.
How do I add custom branding to my download portal?
Admins on your Couchdrop account can customize branding in the Admin console in the Branding section. Here, you can enable whitelabeled Upload and Download portals, add your company name, and include your company logo. When whitelabelling hasn’t been enabled, the download portal will default to Couchdrop branding.
Can I embed file-sharing links on my website?
Yes. Your sharing link can be used the same as any HTTPS link, or the entire download portal can be embedded in your website or application as an iframe.
