ZIP sharing with temporary links

Share ZIP files online without relying on email attachments.

ZIP delivery is not only about file size. It is often about keeping many related files together in one package with the folder structure still intact. A temporary link is usually the cleanest way to hand that archive off.

  • Send ZIP archives up to 1 GB as one downloadable package.
  • Useful for source exports, website packages, project folders, report bundles, asset packs, and backups.
  • Apply expiry or optional password protection when the archive should not stay openly accessible.

What this page is best for

Each landing page is written for a distinct search intent and use case.

01

Good when folder structure needs to stay intact

ZIP archives are often the easiest way to preserve file organization, naming, and nested assets in one handoff. That matters for source packages, exported projects, and multi-file deliverables.

02

Cleaner for source and project handoff

When the file package is meant to move once from one person or team to another, a single archive plus one temporary link is usually simpler than building a shared workspace for a one-time transfer.

03

Best for one-off package delivery, not long-term sync

Use a temporary ZIP link when the archive only needs to be downloaded once or a few times. If multiple people need to keep editing the package over time, a shared storage workflow is the better fit.

Questions people ask before uploading

These are the questions people ask when they need to send a packaged folder or multi-file archive without turning the ZIP into an attachment problem.

Can I share a ZIP file online without sending it as an email attachment?

Yes. Upload the ZIP to SendUp and send the resulting download link instead.

What kinds of ZIP archives fit this workflow?

Project folders, source exports, document bundles, website packages, asset packs, and backups are all common examples.

When is a ZIP link better than shared cloud storage?

A ZIP link is better when the archive is meant for one-time delivery and should stay as a single packaged download instead of becoming part of a long-term shared workspace.

Can a ZIP file link expire automatically or be protected?

Yes. You can set an expiry time and optionally add a password before sharing the archive.
