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 and can be exported to CSV, or pushed to your CRM via webhooks on the Business plan.

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.

How are files and contact details protected?

You choose a contact form or password for access, and can set link expiry and download limits. Files are held in private storage. Read our security and privacy pages for details on hosting, access controls and how contact data is handled.

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 spaces?

Spaces let you bundle multiple files into a single branded page with one share link. Gate the entire space behind a single form — ideal for proposals, onboarding packs, and resource libraries. Spaces are available on Pro and above; Free accounts can view and share any spaces they already have but cannot create new ones.

What happens when I reach my file limit?

New uploads are blocked once you reach your plan's file limit — files you've already shared keep working for you and your recipients. To upload more, delete files you no longer need or upgrade your plan.

Can I request files from clients?

Yes, on Pro and above. Send a file request link and the recipient uploads directly — no account required. Files land in your library first, so you review everything before adding it to a space or sharing it further.
