Download Tracking
Stop guessing. Start knowing.
Track every file download in real time.
See the moment your client opens the link, which files they downloaded, and when. No more chasing follow-ups, no more wondering if the deliverables made it through.
- Per-link tracking
- Works with custom domains
- Password-friendly
Built for teams who deliver.
Ideal for
- Agencies sending invoices, contracts, and final assets that need delivery confirmation
- Freelancers who want a clean record of every project handoff
- Studios sending review copies, drafts, and final renders to clients across time zones
Not ideal if
When to use another tool
- Teams that only need internal team file collaboration with version history
- Workflows that require detailed inline review and approval annotations
- Use cases focused on long-term cloud storage rather than client handoff
The cost of not knowing.
What breaks without download tracking
You sent the deliverables hours ago and still have no idea if the client opened them
Clients claim a link “never arrived” — and you have no proof either way
Project deadlines slip because you can’t confirm whether the final file was received
Your shared links work, but they tell you nothing about what happens after the send
The proof, every time.
What you get
Real-time confirmation the moment a client opens or downloads a file
Per-link analytics — every shared link has its own download history
See first-open time, total opens, and exact files downloaded
Combine download tracking with password protection for sensitive deliverables
Four steps. Zero guesswork.
How tracking works
Step 1
Send the file
Upload your deliverable and create a branded share link in under a minute — no client account required.
Step 2
Client opens the link
The moment a recipient clicks, the link is timestamped and the open is logged.
Step 3
Download is recorded
Every file pulled is captured per-link, so you can see exactly what was received and when.
Step 4
You stay in the loop
Open the dashboard at any time and see download confirmation without sending a single follow-up email.
Requirement by requirement.

BulkShare records standard delivery events (link opens and downloads) the same way most professional file delivery and email-tracking tools do. There is no notification shown to the recipient — they simply see your branded download page and the file. If you want to be transparent, link your privacy policy from your account settings.
