How it works
Transfer Audio Files Online — step by step
01
Choose the recording
Find the original file or export the approved version from your audio software. Play the beginning and end to confirm that the recording is complete.
02
Name the files clearly
Use a project name, date, and version. When transferring multiple speakers or tracks, identify each one in the filename.
03
Upload and copy the link
Upload the files to FileFlap and wait for completion. Use the download link in an email, chat, or project message.
04
Explain what to do next
State whether the recipient should listen, edit, or approve the audio. Include any required delivery deadline and ask them to save their own copy.
Before you start
What to know before you transfer
A voice recording, a finished song, and an editing session have different delivery needs. Sharing a file link lets you transfer the selected audio without fitting it into an email attachment. Choose the source format for the recipient’s task rather than converting everything to a smaller listening copy.
Checklist
Prepare your files
| Item | What to send | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Listening copy | An agreed playback format such as MP3 | Check that the recipient can open it. |
| Editing audio | The original or requested export, such as WAV | Keep the settings requested by the editor. |
| Multiple recordings | Files labeled by speaker, track, or session | Include all required takes. |
| Notes | Version, purpose, and relevant timestamps | Specify which recording the timestamps refer to. |
Common mistake
Converting a listening copy back into an editing master
Changing a compressed file into another format does not restore information removed by an earlier conversion. Use the original recording when the recipient needs it.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I transfer WAV files instead of MP3 files?
Transfer the file format required by the recipient, subject to the current upload limits. A WAV file may be appropriate for an editing workflow; an MP3 can serve as a listening copy.
Does the recipient need audio editing software?
Only if the task or file format requires it. For simple listening, choose a format compatible with their playback software and identify any special requirements.
