Should I send separate files or one ZIP?
Use separate files when recipients may need only part of the delivery. Use a ZIP when you want the entire set downloaded together or need to preserve folders.
To send multiple files at once, gather the files into a clearly named delivery set and upload them together to FileFlap. Use a ZIP archive instead when the recipient needs the entire set as one file or when folder structure matters.

Place the intended files in a temporary delivery folder. Compare the contents with the recipient’s request.
Keep files separate when the recipient needs to select them individually. Create a ZIP when one complete package is more practical.
Upload the selected files or archive to FileFlap. Confirm that the transfer includes the expected files before sharing.
Share the link with a brief inventory and explain which file to open first. Identify any optional references or alternate versions.
Sending documents one message at a time makes it easy to miss a file or confuse versions. A single organized delivery is easier to check. Decide whether the recipient should choose individual files or download the full package, then prepare the transfer around that need.
| Item | What to send | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Delivery set | All files that belong to the same request | Check the file count before uploading. |
| Filenames | Names that distinguish content and version | Avoid several files named simply final. |
| File list | A short inventory for larger deliveries | State which files are required and which are references. |
| Optional ZIP | A packaged version of the complete set | Use it when the whole folder must stay together. |
Multiple-file transfers should reduce ambiguity. Keep one clearly identified final version for each deliverable and label references or alternatives explicitly.

Use separate files when recipients may need only part of the delivery. Use a ZIP when you want the entire set downloaded together or need to preserve folders.
Prepare the mix of documents and assets needed for the task and check the service’s current upload requirements. Tell recipients which applications they need to open specialist formats.
Compare the transfer with a file list before sharing. For a larger package, include that list so the recipient can check the download too.
