One link for everything
Instead of sending five separate file links, share a single folder link. Your client clicks once and sees all the files organised in one place.
Folder Sharing
Share folders online with a single link
Stop sending multiple individual file links for the same project. Organise your files into a folder and share everything with one clean, professional link. Password protect the folder and use your own branded domain for complete client delivery control.
Direct answer
How do you share a folder online with a link?
“Create a folder in BulkShare, upload your files into it, then generate a share link for the entire folder. You get one URL that shows a clean folder view of all your files to anyone who opens it. Add a password and an expiry date before sharing for professional, secure delivery.”
- One link replaces multiple separate file links for the same project.
- Recipients see all files in an organised folder view — no scattered attachments.
- Pro adds password protection, custom domain, and expiry for the folder link.
Clean file organisation
Group files by project phase, file type, or deliverable stage. Clients see a structured folder view instead of a flat list of files.
Password protected folders
Add a password to the folder link before sharing. Only recipients who know the password can access the contents. Pro feature.
Branded folder links
Use your own custom domain for the folder share link. Recipients see your brand name in the URL, not a generic file transfer service.
How to share a folder with a link
Four steps to go from folder creation to a shared link your client can open in seconds.
1
Create a folder
From your BulkShare dashboard, create a new folder and give it a name. Folders help you organise files before sharing.
2
Upload files to the folder
Drag files into the folder or move existing uploaded files into it. Add as many files as you need.
3
Share the folder
Create a share link for the folder. Set an optional password and expiry date before copying the link.
4
Send the link
Paste the folder link anywhere. Recipients see all files in one place and can download individually or in bulk.
Common folder sharing use cases
Folders are the right tool whenever you need to share a collection of related files as a single deliverable.
Campaign deliverables
Bundle campaign assets — videos, images, copy docs, and final exports — into a single folder. Share it with the client as one clean link at campaign close.
Project handoff packages
Share the full project folder at handoff time. Organise by phase or asset type so clients can navigate without asking which file is which.
Onboarding resource kits
Put welcome guides, contract copies, and reference materials in a folder and share a single onboarding link. Password-protect it for privacy.
Folder sharing vs individual file links
When a project involves more than one file, a folder share link is almost always the better choice.
| Scenario | With folder sharing | Without folder sharing |
|---|---|---|
| Delivering multiple files | One link, one click — all files visible in an organised folder view | Multiple individual links that are easy to lose or confuse |
| Client experience | Clean folder layout with file names and types clearly visible | Flat unorganised list or scattered attachments |
| Access control | Single password on the folder link covers all files inside | Would need to password-protect each file link individually |
| Version updates | Add updated files to the same folder — same link still works | Need to resend a new link every time a file changes |
Pro folder sharing features
- Password protection on folder share links
- Custom domain for professional branded folder URLs
- Custom expiry dates so folder access closes at the right time

Frequently asked questions
How do I share a folder online with a link?
In BulkShare, create a folder from your dashboard, upload your files into it, then create a share link for that folder. You get a single URL that shows all the folder contents to anyone who opens it. Add a password or expiry before sharing for extra security.
Can I password protect a shared folder link?
Yes, password protection for folder share links is available on the Pro plan. You set a password when creating the folder share link, and anyone who opens the link must enter it before seeing the folder contents.
Can recipients download all files from a folder at once?
Recipients can view all files in the shared folder and download individual files. The folder view shows file names, types, and sizes so clients can find what they need without downloading everything.
Is there a limit on how many files can be in a shared folder?
Free accounts have a 200MB per-file limit. Pro accounts get 100GB of storage with no per-file cap — plenty for most agency and team delivery workflows.
Can I add files to a folder after sharing the link?
Yes. Once a folder share link is active, you can continue adding files to the folder from your dashboard. Recipients who open the same link will see the updated contents including any newly added files.
Can I use my own domain for a folder share link?
Yes. With a Pro account and a connected custom domain, your folder share links use your own domain name instead of bulkshare.cloud. This makes the link look professional and trusted to clients who receive it.
What happens to the folder link when it expires?
When the expiry date is reached, the share link stops working and anyone who tries to open it sees an expired link message. The folder and its files remain in your BulkShare account — only the public share link is deactivated.
