Real-Time File Management: Update Shared Files Instantly
Ever shared files and then realized you need to make changes? With traditional file sharing services, updating shared content means starting over - canceling transfers, re-uploading files, and sharing new links. SendFiles changes this completely with instant, real-time file management.
Real-Time Management Benefits
- Instant Updates: Changes reflect immediately for all recipients
- No Re-uploading: Add or remove files directly from your shared folder
- Single Link: Same link works even after updating content
- Multiple Recipients: All users see changes in real-time
How Real-Time Updates Work
SendFiles treats your shared folder like a live directory. Any changes you make to the folder on your computer are instantly reflected in what recipients can access. It's as simple as managing files on your local machine.
