How it works

How to create a download link

Three steps, no manual configuration.

1

Create an account

Free forever with 50 GB, no credit card needed.

2

Upload your files

Drag files or folders into the upload zone, choose how long the link stays valid and click send. A password on the link is part of a paid plan.

3

Share the link

You get a short, secure link you can email or share yourself. Get a notification as soon as they download it.

More than sending files

Share with confidence. Know it arrives.

With Downloadlink you see for every delivery when it was picked up, it stays secure and it looks polished — for your family and for your clients.

Free

See when it has been collected

For every delivery you can see whether and when your client downloaded it. Not collected yet? Send a reminder in one click. No more "did you receive it?" emails.

In every paid plan

Password protection

Protect sensitive deliveries with a password and an expiry date. You decide who can access them and how long the link works. After that everything is deleted automatically.

From the 1 TB plan

Built for teams

Several people on one account, a shared client address book, and a dashboard showing what was sent and downloaded — by whom and when. Plus weekly planning and bookkeeping.

In paid plans

A lasting, branded portal per client, no account needed on their side: folders, revisions and a recycle bin, a name, colour, logo and cover of your own per folder, a readable address, and a presentation view with large previews.

Also works with your AI assistant, such as Claude: in paid plans you connect it in a few clicks, and then it creates download links for you and finds the right tool. In a browser with WebMCP (a new technology that Chrome and Edge are now trialling), an assistant can also operate most of the tools; you choose the file yourself. How to connect it →

VPN

Your internet traffic travels encrypted to our own server in Germany and only reaches the internet from there. Useful on the wifi of a hotel, train or café: anyone watching on the same network sees only encrypted data.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions we are asked most.

How do I create a download link?

Create a free account, drag your files or a folder into the upload box and click send. You get a link straight away that you copy and share, or have emailed to the recipient. Anyone with the link can download the files without an account.

Where are my files stored?

All your files live on secure storage in Amsterdam (the Netherlands), within the EU. They are stored encrypted and deleted automatically after the expiry period. The first three downloads of a transfer come straight from that storage, and after that too as long as the free download traffic our storage provider gives us each month has not run out. Beyond that, and for the other downloads (such as from a shared folder), the file travels to the recipient via Cloudflare's network; Cloudflare does not keep the files. One exception to those first three: if the recipient's browser cannot build a zip of several files itself, our server in Frankfurt builds that zip, and it then also goes via Cloudflare. If you enable an AI feature yourself — such as the cover note for a transfer, or text recognition (OCR) in the PDF tools — what that feature needs goes to our AI provider Anthropic in the United States: for the cover note the file names and at most three PDF files from your package, for OCR the page you convert. We keep nothing extra ourselves: recognised text is not stored, and the cover note lives with the transfer and disappears with it. If you do not use those features, nothing from your files goes to an AI. Full technical details are on the security page.

How long do files stay available?

30 days by default. On a free account you pick 1 to 30 days per upload; on a paid plan that goes up to 90 days, and you can even set a link to never expire. Expired files are deleted automatically — not just made unreachable, but physically wiped from our servers.

What is the maximum file size?

Paid plans place no limit on the size of a single transfer — you are only bounded by your total storage. Free accounts can send up to 50 GB per transfer.

How much can be downloaded via my links?

On the free account, recipients can download up to 100 GB per month in total via the links you send. There is no daily limit — only this monthly total counts, so you can quite happily have 30+ downloads in a single day. If you reach the monthly total, your links are paused until the next month — your files simply stay put and you receive a warning email beforehand. Paid plans have more generous limits that scale with your package. That is how we keep the servers fast and affordable for everyone.

Can I cancel at any time?

Yes. No annual contracts, no notice period. Your plan runs until the end of the paid period; after that you fall back to the free 50 GB account and your files simply stay put.

Does this work with our own domain name?

Your own web address (yourcompany.downloadlink.nl) comes with the 500 GB plan and up; you set it up yourself on your account page. On the smaller plans you send from downloadlink.nl, with your own logo, name and colour on the download page. A fully custom domain (download.yourcompany.com) is available on request — get in touch and we will arrange it for you.

Is the free account really free?

Yes, and it stays free — no time limit, no credit card. You get 50 GB of total storage and an unlimited number of transfers. If you need more space or premium features you can always upgrade — but you never have to.
