Transfer

Share files securely. Stay in control.

Flowtig Transfer helps organisations share files securely with customers, colleagues and business partners.

Instead of relying on third-party file sharing services, Transfer provides professional download pages with configurable access controls, download tracking and complete activity history—all fully integrated into the Flowtig platform.

Whether you're delivering invoices, sharing project files or exchanging large documents, Transfer keeps every file transfer organised, secure and transparent.

Professional file sharing

Transfer combines secure file delivery with complete transparency, allowing organisations to control how files are shared, accessed and downloaded.

Why use Transfer?

Business files often need to be shared outside your organisation.

Typical questions include:

  • How can I send large files securely?
  • How long should this download remain available?
  • Has the customer already downloaded the files?
  • Can I protect downloads with a password?
  • Can I revoke access later?

Transfer answers these questions while keeping file sharing simple and professional.

  • Upload files of any size
  • Create public download pages
  • Protect transfers with passwords
  • Limit downloads

Transfer Overview

Creating a Transfer

Creating a transfer only takes a few moments.

  1. Upload one or more files.
  2. Add an optional title and description.
  3. Configure security settings.
  4. Share the generated download link.

Recipients immediately receive access to a clean and professional download page without requiring a Flowtig account.

Tip

A descriptive title and short explanation help recipients quickly understand the purpose of the transfer.

Uploading Files

Transfer supports both individual files and complete file collections.

Typical examples include:

  • PDF documents
  • Images
  • ZIP archives
  • Office documents
  • CAD drawings
  • Videos

Multiple files can easily be grouped into a single transfer.

Download Pages

Every transfer receives its own dedicated download page.

Recipients can:

  • View transfer information
  • Preview supported files
  • Download individual files
  • Download complete archives

The download experience is designed to be simple, modern and accessible from any device.

Download Page

Access Control

Transfer provides multiple options for controlling access.

Available options include:

  • Password protection
  • Expiration dates
  • Download limits
  • Manual deactivation

These controls help ensure files remain available only for as long as necessary.

Stay in control

Every transfer remains under your control throughout its entire lifecycle.

File Preview

Transfer automatically analyses uploaded files.

Depending on the file type, recipients may preview content before downloading.

Supported preview types include:

  • Images
  • ZIP archive contents

Previews allow recipients to verify file contents before downloading.

Activity History

Every transfer maintains a complete activity history.

Typical events include:

  • Transfer created
  • Download page opened
  • File downloaded
  • Transfer expired
  • Transfer disabled

This creates full transparency for every shared file.

Complete traceability

Activity history helps verify when files were accessed and downloaded.

Notifications

Transfer integrates with Flowtig's notification system.

Notifications can inform users about events such as:

  • Transfer expiration
  • Successful downloads
  • Newly created transfers

This allows teams to stay informed without constantly checking the application.

Typical permissions include:

Permission Description

Permissions can be assigned independently, ensuring organisations retain full control over shared files.
