Single-file links are not enough when deliverables include README, installer, license, and sample data. Collections group multiple uploads behind one share address while preserving individual previews.
When collections beat ZIP attachments
- Recipients preview some files inline without extracting an archive
- You add or reorder files before final send (within plan limits)
- Mixed media types need different preview behavior
- Downloaders still want optional ZIP for offline use
Email ZIPs reintroduce size limits; collection links stay readable in tickets.

- Copy all details for external handoff or share QR for onsite access.
Naming and organization tips
- Prefix collection titles with client or sprint IDs.
- Put README or instructions first in the file list when order matters visually.
- Use separate collections for draft vs approved asset packs to prevent recipients from downloading the wrong version.
Dashboard follow-up
Signed-in users manage collections under Manage My Shares. Track access counts, adjust security before expiry, or remove old bundles when they are no longer needed.
Collections turn UploadToLink from a basic single-file handoff into a delivery hub for asset packs, support bundles, and review packages.
