Why don't other tools just give you an upload link?
Collecting a file from someone should be as simple as sharing a link. In practice, every existing option adds unnecessary steps — for you or for them:
- Email — 25 MB attachment limits, files buried in threads, no reliable delivery confirmation
- Google Drive — no straightforward way to give someone an upload link without granting account-level access
- Dropbox — file requests exist but require setup, and the uploader experience is clunky
- WeTransfer — sends files to people; doesn't give you a link for others to upload to you
- Building it yourself — S3 presigned URLs, expiry logic, a UI for uploaders — days of work for a solved problem
A file upload link should take seconds to create and work for anyone — without accounts, installs, or configuration on the uploader's side.
A file upload link that just works
Sendbl gives you a personal, shareable file upload link. You create it in one click. The person you share it with opens it in a browser, picks their file, and uploads. Done.
Your link stays active until it expires or you close it — so you can reuse it, share it with multiple people, or embed it anywhere. Each file that arrives is ready to download immediately.
No permissions to configure. No storage to set up. No support tickets from confused uploaders. Just a link that works.
How it works
From account to first received file in under two minutes.
Create your upload link
Log in and generate a secure file upload link in one click. Optionally set a message, file limit, or expiry date.
Share it
Send the link by email, paste it in a chat, or add it to a form. No signup required on the other end.
Receive files
Files arrive securely and are ready to download. The link stays open for as long as you need it.
Where a single upload link does the job
Recruiting & Hiring
Drop your upload link into a job posting and let candidates send CVs, portfolios, and code samples without a careers-portal login.
Real Estate & Lettings
Send tenants and buyers one link for ID, proof of income, and signed agreements — instead of attaching PDFs across five emails.
Researchers & Educators
Collect submissions, datasets, or coursework from participants and students through a single link you can embed in your course page or study brief.
