Transfers

1. Open Transfers in the top bar. The page is headed Send files to a client.
2. Drop your files in. They show as a list, and you can take any of them off again before sending.
3. Fill in what you like: Title (optional) (your client reads it at the top of their page), Message (optional), and how long it stays up: 3 days, a week (the default), two weeks or a month. A Passphrase (optional) is "the only thing between the link and whoever it gets forwarded to."
4. Under Send it to (optional), pick someone from your contacts or type an address.
5. Press Upload and send. With nobody filled in, the button reads Upload instead.

So you do not have to sit and watch a large upload. You decide who it goes to and press the button; Kadrenta sends the mail the moment the last file has arrived. The screen shows the speed, the time left, and that it is going to send, and to whom.

Two things always hold:

• A failed upload sends nothing. The mail goes only once every file in the batch has landed.
• Leave "Send it to" empty and nothing goes out. The link appears on the transfer afterwards, ready to copy and pass on yourself.

The upload lives in the browser tab that started it. You can walk away from your desk while it finishes, but keep the tab open and the laptop awake: if the tab closes, the upload stops.

Anything: EXR sequences, TIFFs, MKV, FBX, OBJ, Alembic caches, fonts, project files from other software, and .zip archives. A single file can be up to 50 GB, and a transfer holds up to 500 files. Large files are sent in parts, so a dropped connection only costs the part that failed. For a .zip, the client's page lists what is inside (names and sizes) before anybody downloads it.

No. Work that is already on a shot can go straight out: tick the versions on the shot and press Transfer files, right beside Send to review. The transfer points at the file the version already uses, so a large render is neither copied nor counted twice against your storage.

Their own page, with your title and message, a list of files each with a Download button, and Download all to fetch everything as one zip (behind the passphrase, if you set one). The page names the date the files are there until, and asks them to keep a copy before then.

On your side, each file shows how many times it has been downloaded, including a visible zero: that is the row worth a nudge.

At most a month. When the end date passes, the link stops opening and the transfer moves from Out with clients to Ended.

To give it more time, open the transfer and press More time!, then pick how long From today. An extension can never reach further than a month from today. This also works shortly after a transfer has ended: files that only lived in that transfer are cleared about five days after the end date, and until then, more time brings them back.

Yes. Press Remove on the transfer: the link stops opening straight away and the transfer moves to Ended. Files that also sit in a project stay there, and the record of what went out stays on your list. Removing can be undone from the bar that appears right after you press it. You can also change the passphrase later, or Take off the passphrase altogether.

Sending files to a client is part of the paid plans, and it needs the Make a share link or send a review permission. When a button refuses, the screen says which of the two it is: a plan limit, or a permission your studio has not given you.

Kadrenta Drop, a desktop app for sending and syncing files from your own computer, is being built and is not available to download yet. Until it is, everything in this chapter happens in the browser.
