You have a project folder with 30 files in it. PSDs, spreadsheets, a few PDFs, a handful of images and a README. You need someone else to have all of it. Not one file at a time. Not zipped into an archive they cannot preview. The whole folder, intact, with one link they can click.
EasySend lets you upload multiple files at once and share them as a single bundle. The recipient gets one page with every file listed, a preview for supported formats and a download button for each file or the entire set as a ZIP. Here is how to do it and why it works better than the alternatives.
How Multi-File Sharing Works
When you upload to EasySend, you can select multiple files or drag an entire folder into the upload area. Every file gets uploaded together and grouped under one share link. The recipient sees a clean download page listing every file with its name, size and type.
They can download individual files or grab the whole bundle as a ZIP archive with one click. No account needed on either end. No app to install. Just a browser.
Preserving Folder Structure
Folder structure matters. If you are sharing a web project, the recipient needs to know which files go in which directories. If you are delivering design assets, the folder names tell the story: /final, /source, /fonts.
When you drag a folder into EasySend, the file paths are preserved in the bundle. The ZIP download recreates the original directory layout so the recipient can extract it and start working immediately without reorganizing anything.
This is especially useful for developers sharing code repositories, designers delivering layered project files and teams handing off completed deliverables.
When to Use Multi-File Bundles
Client Deliveries
Freelancers and agencies deliver work as complete packages. A branding project might include logo files in SVG, PNG and EPS formats plus a brand guidelines PDF plus the source Illustrator files. Sending these as individual attachments is messy. A single bundle link keeps everything organized and professional.
Software Projects
Need to share a project that is not on GitHub? Upload the entire directory. The recipient gets the file tree intact and can extract it directly into their development environment. This works well for sharing starter templates, code samples or proof-of-concept projects with clients who do not use Git.
Event Materials
Conferences, weddings, photo shoots - any event that produces dozens of files. Upload the whole batch and share one link. The recipient browses the files online and downloads what they want.
Academic Submissions
Research papers often come with supplementary materials: datasets, code, figures and appendices. A multi-file bundle keeps the submission together. Share one link with reviewers, collaborators or journal editors.
Real Estate Packages
Real estate agents deal with listing photos, floor plans, disclosure documents and inspection reports. Instead of attaching files to separate emails, bundle everything for each property and share a single link with potential buyers or other agents.
Why Not Just Use a ZIP File?
You could ZIP your folder and upload the single archive. Some people do this. But it has drawbacks:
- No preview - recipients must download and extract before they can see anything
- No selective download - they get the entire archive even if they only need one file
- Compression issues - ZIP compression can corrupt certain file types if done wrong
- Size overhead - some files (JPEGs, MP4s, PDFs) are already compressed, so zipping them just adds processing time without reducing size
When you upload files as a bundle on EasySend, each file is individually accessible. Recipients can preview images, PDFs and text files directly in the browser. They download only what they need. And if they want everything, the ZIP download is generated on the fly.
How to Share a Project Folder on EasySend
- Go to easysend.co and click the upload area or drag your project folder directly onto the page
- Select all files - you can select multiple files or an entire folder from your file picker
- Wait for uploads to finish - each file uploads in parallel for speed
- Copy your share link - one link that covers every file in the bundle
- Send the link - paste it in an email, chat message or anywhere else
If you want extra security, add a password to the share link. Only people with the password can access the files.
Using the API for Automated Bundles
If you regularly share project folders, the EasySend API lets you automate the process. Upload multiple files in a single API call and get back a share link.
# Upload multiple files as a bundle
curl -F 'files[]=@design/logo.svg' \
-F 'files[]=@design/mockup.png' \
-F 'files[]=@design/guidelines.pdf' \
https://easysend.co/api/v1/uploadThis is useful for build pipelines, automated reporting or any workflow that produces a set of files that need to be shared together. You can integrate it into CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs or custom scripts.
Tips for Sharing Project Folders
- Name files clearly - the recipient sees file names on the download page, so use descriptive names instead of
final_v2_FINAL.psd - Remove junk files - clean out
.DS_Store,Thumbs.dband other system files before uploading - Include a README - a plain text README.txt at the top level helps recipients understand what they are looking at
- Check file sizes - EasySend supports files up to 1GB on the free tier, so large video files or datasets may need to be split or compressed first
Stop Sending Files One at a Time
Every time you attach files to an email one by one, you are wasting your time and confusing your recipient. Project folders belong together. Upload the whole thing, share one link and move on to actual work.
