Everything you need to share confidently
Collections, webhooks, teams, and more — built for teams that share content at scale.
Collections
Bundle files into branded collections with a single share link. Gate the whole collection behind one form — perfect for proposals, onboarding packs, and resource libraries.
Webhooks & API
Push leads and events to your CRM, Slack, or any system in real time. Webhooks fire on lead capture, download, and view events — no polling required.
Teams
Invite your team, manage roles, and share folders. Everyone in the org gets a unified dashboard with shared analytics and lead data.
Watermarks
Overlay visible watermarks with the lead's name and email on every downloaded file. Discourage unauthorised redistribution without blocking access.
Turn every shared file into a lead.
Most platforms gate by email alone — a single field. GateDocs captures name, company, and job title so every download is a qualified lead, not just an address.

GateDocs vs. the tools you're using today
Lead capture built in. Not bolted on. Not missing entirely.

DocSend requires email gating — a single field. GateDocs gives you full lead capture forms with custom fields: name, email, company, job title, and anything else you need. Plus: transparent pricing, a generous free tier, and no ‘contact sales’ to see what it costs.

Frequently asked questions
What file types can I share?
PDFs, Microsoft Office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), images (PNG, JPG, GIF), and ZIP archives. Maximum file size is 50 MB. Office documents are automatically converted for preview.
How does lead capture work?
When you enable lead capture on a file, recipients see a form before they can access the download. You choose which fields to collect — typically email, name, and company. Captured leads appear in your dashboard instantly and can be pushed to your CRM via webhooks.
Do recipients need an account?
No. Recipients never need a GateDocs account. They visit the link, complete the form or enter the password, and access the file immediately.
Is GateDocs GDPR compliant?
Yes. We take data privacy seriously. Collected lead data is stored securely, and you can delete individual leads or export and purge all data at any time. We process data in accordance with GDPR requirements.
Can I use my own branding and domain?
Yes. On Pro and above, upload your logo, set your brand colours, and connect a custom domain. Every download page reflects your brand, not ours — served from your own domain.
What are collections?
Collections let you bundle multiple files into a single branded page with one share link. Gate the entire collection behind a single form — ideal for proposals, onboarding packs, and resource libraries.
What happens if I exceed my file limit?
Existing files remain accessible to you and your recipients. You'll need to upgrade or remove files before uploading new ones.
