"Sending 15 separate download links to a client creates confusion and missing asset emails. BackupBox lets you bundle hundreds of mixed file types into one organized link."

Why Multi-Link Handoffs Frustrate Clients

Delivering projects as scattered links leads to missing files and project delays:

Inbox Link Confusion

Clients miss 3 out of 10 links sent across multiple email threads.

Broken Subfolder Trees

Flat download lists lose internal folder organization and asset paths.

Tedious Manual Downloads

Downloading 50 individual files one-by-one wastes client time.

1. Preserving Multi-Level Folder Hierarchies

Drag and drop complex folder structures into BackupBox. Subfolders, subdirectories, and asset paths are maintained exactly as organized on your computer.

  • Bundle RAW images, PDFs, MP4s, and fonts into 1 share link.
  • Recipients can download individual files or the full folder as ZIP.
  • Zero sign-up required for recipients to view and download.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
