Does each recipient get their own download link?
Yes. Each person you email gets a personal link to the same transfer. It lets Pandafile tell you who downloaded, and remind only the people who haven’t.
When you send one transfer to Anna, Ben and Chris, they all download the same files, but each of them gets a slightly different link. The extra bit at the end of the link tells Pandafile which recipient is downloading.
Why personal links help
- You get an email naming the exact person who downloaded.
- Reminders go only to people who haven’t downloaded yet, not to everyone.
- If a recipient clicks “Don’t remind me”, it only affects them.
What stays the same for everyone
- The files, title and message.
- The expiry date: 3 days for free transfers, 30 days for Pro.
- The download page: single files, or everything as a ZIP with folders kept.
- If you delete the transfer, every link stops working at once.
Forwarding a personal link
A personal link works for whoever opens it, so a recipient can forward it to a colleague. Keep in mind that any download through that link counts as the original recipient’s. If Anna forwards her link to Dan and Dan downloads first, you’ll be told Anna downloaded, and Anna’s reminders stop.
Is it safe?
All links use long random codes and HTTPS, so they can’t be guessed. Anyone who has a link can download until it expires, so treat it like the files themselves. For sensitive files, Pro lets you add a password to the transfer.
Links you create with “Get a link” are different: there’s just one shared link, so Pandafile can’t tell who downloaded.
