How to use SendIt, step by step

This guide walks through the full workflow: preparing a file, choosing an expiry, sharing the access code on a separate channel, and confirming the recipient collected it.

It explains single-file and multi-file receiving, repeat downloads while a share is active, code snippet sharing, supported language choices, troubleshooting, and the fact that normal file sharing has no Download All ZIP or manual revoke control.

Use the shortest practical expiry, share codes privately, remove secrets before uploading, and keep an independent copy of important files.

For moving a file between your own devices, use a short expiry and retrieve it immediately. For a client draft, remove internal notes and send the code separately. For a code example, share only the relevant text and remove credentials before selecting the language.

Recipients should confirm who sent the code, check the receive page address, review the filename and size, use local security tools, and delete local copies when the task is finished. A successful download does not prove that a file is safe or authorised.
