A better way to send large files

At ZappFiles, we know that great file sharing is equal parts speed and usability. After listening to creators, teams, and businesses, we're rolling out a redesigned upload interface that makes it easier to send large files online, generate shareable links, and keep your workspace clean and focused.

What we learned from user feedback

Conversations with users surfaced a few friction points in the previous design:

• It wasn't clear that entering your own email isn't required to transfer files.
• Many didn't realize they could create a shareable download link instead of emailing recipients.
• The upload box felt cramped after selecting files.

What's new in the ZappFiles upload box

Based on that feedback, here's what changed:

Clear options for sharing

• A simple toggle between Get a Link and Send an Email.
• Default selection is Get a Link for quick, no-friction sharing.

Simpler email field

• The email field now clearly shows “optional” to reduce confusion.

Cleaner layout

• Optional fields like “Title” live in the settings tab, keeping the file transfer flow focused.

Improved file overview

• We removed the cramped file list from inside the upload box.
• Selected files and folders now appear outside the box with:
  • More information per file
  • Clear previews
  • One-click delete
  • Scrollable layout for large selections

Why this matters for file sharing

These updates make it simpler to send large files and share folders online. Whether you're delivering client assets or collaborating across teams, ZappFiles now offers:

• A faster, no-clutter upload process
• Clear link vs. email options
• Better visibility and control before sending
