File Storage for Agencies

A digital agency's file problem is really a multi-tenant problem. You are holding logos, brand kits, cut video, retouched photography, and deliverables for a dozen clients at once, each needs to load fast on a live campaign, and nobody wants client A's assets bleeding into client B's workspace. files.link maps onto that cleanly. You create a project per client and folders per engagement or campaign inside it, so the structure mirrors how you actually bill and staff.

Each project can carry its own API key, which means the build automation for one client's site cannot reach another client's files — useful when you hand a contractor scoped access to a single account. Delivery is handled by an integrated global CDN, so a hero video embedded in a launch page is cached near the visitor whether they open it from London or São Paulo, with no separate CDN to configure per client.

For handoff, public deliverables get permanent shareable links you can drop into a Notion doc or an email, while anything sensitive — unreleased creative, contracts, raw footage — stays private and goes out as a time-limited signed URL your client opens without creating an account, and which expires on its own so you are not chasing access cleanup later. The commercial fit matters as much as the technical one.

Seat-based tools like Dropbox Business or Google Workspace charge per user, which punishes agencies that rotate freelancers and onboard clients constantly. files.link bills one prepaid-credit balance against actual storage and delivery, so adding a client or a freelancer does not add a line item, and a quiet retainer month costs less than a launch month. Automation is first-class: the REST API lets a deployment pipeline push exported assets straight into the right client folder after a build.

The three calls are POST /v1/files/{folderId} for a presigned URL, a PUT of the file bytes, then POST /v1/files/confirm-upload — so generating a fresh batch of CDN-ready deliverables for a client review becomes a step in your release script rather than a manual drag-and-drop chore.
