“Giving credit should be the default setting, not an extra step.”
A plain download link strips away everything that matters about a file: who made it, how it may be used and when the permission ends. Credits get lost, usage terms get ignored and nobody can say whether the partner ever opened the folder.
Byline Shares wraps every delivery in a link page of your own. The credit line, usage notes and expiry date are part of the page, the files are served with their metadata intact, and view receipts tell you what happened after you pressed send.
What is inside
The features.
Credit lines that stay put
Creator names and usage notes are shown on the page and kept in the file metadata that recipients download.
Expiry, passwords and limits
Set an end date, require a password or cap the number of downloads for sensitive material.
View receipts
See who opened a link, what they downloaded and when, without asking for a reply.
Request links
Let partners upload files to you through a branded page that drops them straight into the right folder.
One-click revoke
Turn a link off instantly. The page stops working and the files stay safely where they were.

Reader questions
Asked often.
Do recipients need an account?
No. They open the link, read the credit and terms, and download. Only you need an account.
Can I change the terms after sending?
Yes. Edit the page and the new wording appears immediately for anyone who opens the link next. Past views stay in the receipts.
What does revoking a link do to the files?
Nothing. The link stops working and the files stay in your storage exactly as they were.
