The problem
Why does a design deliverable never fit in an attachment?
An honest InDesign package — document, fonts, high-resolution linked images — routinely weighs several hundred megabytes. Add the working sources and the print exports: the final deliverable runs into gigabytes, against a 20-25 MB attachment.
And shortcuts come at a price: sending the INDD alone without its links guarantees a "missing fonts" alert on the client’s side; flattening to PDF deprives the recipient of the sources they paid for; the drive exposes your studio’s folder tree and demands accounts.
The deliverable has to leave complete and organized. TransferNow sends the folder as is, free up to 5 GB.

The solutions
Four ways to deliver a design project
It all depends on what the client bought: a visual to look at, or sources to work with. An honest comparison.
| Method | Max size | Quality | For the recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| TransferNow (complete folder)Recommended | 5 GB free · 500 GB with an account | Sources, links and fonts intact | One click, no account |
| PDF export alone | Light | Frozen render, no sources | Read-only |
| Source file without its links | Varies | "Missing links" guaranteed | Unusable without the package |
| Drive / cloud storage | Depends on the account quota | Intact | Account required, studio folder tree exposed |
The complete folder: the professional delivery
InDesign package, Sketch/XD sources, print and web exports: everything goes out in one link, structure preserved. The client (or the printer) gets a project that works right away, fonts and links included.
The PDF alone: showing is not delivering
Perfect for sign-off, the PDF is no substitute for the sources when the contract includes them. The right move: a proof PDF + the sources in the same transfer.
The lone file: tomorrow’s phone call
An INDD sent without its linked images and fonts opens to a forest of alerts. It’s the most common mistake — and the most avoidable: build the package, send the folder.
The cloud: mind what you expose
Sharing a drive folder grants access to a living workspace — work-in-progress versions included. A transfer delivers a clean, frozen copy that expires on its own.

Frequently asked questions
How do I deliver an InDesign package without breaking the links?
Build the package from InDesign (File → Package), then drag the complete folder into TransferNow: document, fonts and linked images travel together, structure preserved.
Do Sketch, XD or Affinity files go through?
Yes, every format travels as is — none is rejected or converted. The file received is strictly identical to yours.
Can I send sources and exports in the same transfer?
Yes, and it’s recommended: a sources/ folder + an exports/ folder in the same link. The client downloads everything, or just what they need.
How do I protect a rebrand before it’s announced?
Add a password to the transfer (shared through another channel), limit how long it stays available and track every download per recipient.
Does the client need an account or any software?
No: they receive a link and download from their browser, with no sign-up. Software is only needed to open the sources, not to receive them.
