Share a folder

When to share a folder vs a single track

Use a folder share when:

• You're sending a stem pack with multiple files.
• You want one URL the collaborator can revisit as you add more files.
• Multiple tracks belong to one project (an EP, an album, a release prep).

Use a single-track share when:

• The artifact is one audio file.
• You want a clean listen page (waveform + comments) not a file list.

Creating a folder

1. Go to Storage (your files).
2. Click New folder, give it a name.
3. Drag files into the folder, or upload directly inside it.

The folder is private by default; only you can see it.

Sharing the folder

Two access models, both work:

Public link (72 hours)

1. Open the folder → Share → Generate public link.
2. The link is app.soundassist.online/f/<token>. Send it.
3. Anyone with the link can view + download for 72 hours. After that the link expires and they get a "Link expired" page.

Use the public link for:

• One-shot transfers to someone who doesn't need ongoing access.
• Quickly bouncing files to someone over chat without setting up a member relationship.

Member-based (co-owned)

1. Open the folder → Share → Add member.
2. Type the collaborator's email. If they have an account, they're added immediately. If not, we send an invite they accept by creating an account.
3. The collaborator now sees the folder permanently in Storage.
4. Both of you can add files; both see updates in real time.

Use member-based sharing for:

• Long-running collaborations.
• Bands working on a release where files accumulate over weeks.
• Mastering engineer + artist relationships where revisions flow back and forth.

Removing access

For the public link: open the folder → Share → Revoke link. The old URL stops working immediately. The folder is private again.

For members: open the folder → Members → click the × next to the member's name. They lose access on the next page load.

File types

Folders accept a wider range than the track-upload path:

• Audio: all the formats from audio-formats-and-quality
• Documents: PDF, TXT, MD, DOC, DOCX, CSV, XLS, XLSX
• Archives: ZIP, RAR, 7Z, TAR, GZ, BZ2
• Images: JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, HEIC, TIFF, BMP, SVG
• Video: MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI
• DAW projects: .logicx, .ptx / .ptf, .rpp, .als, .flp, .cpr, .song

Blocked: executables (.exe, .bat, .sh, .msi), HTML, scripts, anything that could run in a browser. We err strict on this; your collaborator shouldn't have to wonder if your .zip is safe.
