The problem

Why this is hard without the right tool

Suppliers and contractors need particular documents, not your entire filing system. When work ends, access should end too, without having to remember which inbox holds which copy.

How Orbis Drive helps

Step by step

  1. 1

    Keep job files together

    One folder per job or supplier.

  2. 2

    Send what each party needs

    Create a separate link per file and recipient where it matters.

  3. 3

    Set the expiry to fit the job

    Choose up to 30 days and create a fresh link if work runs on.

  4. 4

    Close off at the end

    Revoke remaining links as part of your job sign-off.

Features and guides used here

Links that end when the job does

Every sharing link has an end date. Choose anything from 1 to 30 days, so old links do not quietly stay live for years.

Turn off a link in one click

Sent it to the wrong person? Project finished early? See every live link in one place and switch off any of them straight away.

Share a file. Keep control.

Send a link instead of an attachment. Choose how long it lasts, add a password if you need one, and revoke it when the job is done.
