One link, many recipients. Password protected, time-expiring, fields collected on the way through. Hand-in folders for schools. Branded portals for clients. Email-to-folder inboxes (from the Business plan up). Even on storage your competitors can’t reach.
Most platforms only share what lives inside them. Foldr shares from wherever your files already are: SMB, OneDrive, SharePoint, Google Drive, S3, Box, on-prem, hybrid, and the file server in your comms room (through the Edge agent, if you’re on Foldr Cloud). The recipient gets a normal link. You get a normal audit trail. Nobody had to migrate anything.
Same link, different rules for different people. Colleagues inside your organisation can get upload while a named partner outside gets read-only with a hard deadline of next Friday, and a class of students gets hand-in mode with a folder each. A link is either open to anyone with a password, or shared with named people who sign in; it can’t be both at once, because the password would never be asked for.
A link opens your storage as whoever made it (or as the share’s service account), so it never reaches more than they could. When it expires, the permissions underneath are exactly what they were on day one.
Every link is configurable. Pick the controls that match the situation, ignore the rest.
Optional password gate, session-based, no recipient account needed.
Pick a date and time, in any timezone. Past that, the link stops working.
Single-use. Self-destructs the moment someone downloads. Useful for one-off credentials and legal docs.
Per-recipient permissions on the same link. Read-only for one, upload for another, manage for a third.
Slug-based human-readable URLs (your-foldr/project-x) or compact hashes. You pick.
See who has opened the link and when. Unread counts on shares-with-me.
Attach custom fields to a public link. The recipient fills them in, you keep the answers next to the file. Replaces the “email me a form, then I’ll send the file” dance.
Recipient must fill in the fields you specify before the file is released. Name, email, reason, project code, anything.
Ask the uploader to tag what they sent. Captures the metadata alongside the file.
Once a field is filled it locks. Useful for "I agree" consent gates and one-shot declarations.
Field types are the same ones used everywhere else in Foldr: text, dropdown, date, number, email, location and more. The values feed search, drive Captur extraction, and show up in the activity log alongside who downloaded what.
Give a folder its own email address (from the Business plan up). Attachments are auto-saved with sender details. Optional path rules sort emails into subfolders. Signatures can be stripped on the way in.
On a Foldr appliance, an administrator can allow your own website to frame a Foldr folder, so a policy pack or prospectus stays live without re-uploading. On Foldr Cloud, embedding is for reports: switch on “Can be embedded” on a report link and paste the code where you want it.
Every open, download, upload and field submission is logged with timestamp and IP, so your auditors will be pleased.
Add partners, vendors and clients as external users. They sign in, see only what is shared with them, and never count against your licensed seat total.
