COWORKER HANDOFFS · SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
Share files with coworkers, without sharing a login.
For a small team that keeps passing files between Macs and Windows PCs, Filelane gives each person a familiar destination. Connect coworkers through person invitations, then drop files onto one computer or use Send to several for a group handoff. Each person keeps their own account.

Your favorite computers, ready for the next handoff.
The same Filelane window expands to show additional connected computers. Three example files move into Send to several. Checkmarks identify three selected recipients, then Send starts their transfers. The animation ends with a success message. These are illustrations; this website does not read or send your files.

Read the walkthrough
- Your favorite computers appear in Filelane’s computer grid. Coworkers use their own accounts and already-approved person connections.
- Open More computers to reveal additional connected computers below your favorites.
- Drop Project brief.pdf, Brand assets.zip and Notes.txt into Send to several. These example files total approximately 10.5 MB.
- Select Maya’s Mac, Jordan’s Mac and Noor’s Mac. Check the selected computers, then choose Send to 3.
- Each selected computer gets its own copies. Keep the sending computer online until upload finishes; recipients download before expiry.
Connect once. Send the next handoff directly.
This is today’s individual-account workflow. Shared team billing, pooled storage and centralized membership management are not available.
Each person sets up their own account
Install Filelane on the supported computers each person uses. Sign in individually and name each computer clearly. Your own computers share your account; coworkers do not need your password.
Connect the selected coworker computer
Use Add computer → Connect a person. Send the invitation and communicate its access code separately. Compare and confirm the displayed verification fingerprint before sending. Only the approved computer becomes a destination.
Send to one person or several
Drop files onto one coworker’s computer, or drop a batch into Send to several and select the connected computers that need it. More computers reveals additional destinations. Check the recipients and choose Send. Stay online until upload completes; each recipient downloads their copy before expiry.
Your computers. Your friends.
A link for everyone else.
To a friend or coworker
Choose Add computer → Connect a person. Share the invitation and separate access code, then compare the verification fingerprint together. They use their own account. Only the computers you connect become destinations; no shared password is needed.
Connected guest computers do not use your own-computer allowance. Transfers still use the sender’s available storage.
To someone without the app
For files and folders, create a public link. Your recipient downloads without an account. For public downloads above 256 MiB, use Chrome or Edge on a computer; other browsers support up to 256 MiB at a time.
Clipboard handoffs use the app at both ends. Anyone with a complete public link can open its files while it is available.
AN EXAMPLE YOU CAN ADAPT
The same campaign handoff, sent to three people.
The illustration follows a fictional project lead sharing Project brief.pdf, Brand assets.zip and Notes.txt. More computers opens the rest of the connected computer grid. Dropping the batch into Send to several lets the sender select Maya, Jordan and Noor, then choose Send to 3.
Each selected computer receives separate copies. These coworkers use their own accounts; the checkmarks select destinations for this handoff. They do not create team seats or a shared folder. A coworker can return a file from their own account. Agree who owns the next edit, because Filelane does not merge changes or update copies already sent.
A short instruction can travel as an explicit clipboard item: send it, let the recipient choose Copy, then paste. For the final client package, switch to a browser download link. See the clipboard workflow.
Decide which relationship each handoff needs.
You, on another computer
Sign in with your own account and confirm the connection. Free allows two of your own computers; Pro allows ten. These allowances describe your devices, not a number of team members.
A recurring coworker
They use their own account and a person connection. An approved guest computer does not consume your own-computer allowance. Sending to it uses your account’s storage; their return delivery uses theirs.
An occasional client
Upload a public file or folder link. The recipient downloads through a supported browser without a Filelane account. Share it only with the intended people; anyone with the complete link can access it while available.
A quick working agreement
Name files with a revision, say who owns the next edit, and agree where final copies are kept. A successful transfer is not an approval or a backup.
Useful for team handoffs. Individual plans today.
Each account has its own storage and subscription. Pro is $12 USD per month or $120 USD per year for that account. There is no shared team checkout, pooled quota, central member administration, organizational ownership or enterprise access policy.
If you need shared editing, membership controls or an organization-wide archive, use tools built for those needs. Filelane can handle the file handoff alongside them. Read the pricing explanation before deciding which people need Pro.

By the Filelane team · Product details reviewed · Help & corrections
Can I send the same files to several coworkers at once?
Yes. Drop the batch into Send to several, select the connected computers that should receive it, and choose Send. Open More computers to see additional destinations. Every selected computer gets its own copies.
Can every coworker use the same account?
Use a separate account for each person. The same account is intended for your own computers. Person invitations let coworkers connect without sharing passwords.
Do ten Pro computers mean ten team seats?
No. They are ten of that account owner’s own computers. Coworkers use separate accounts and approved person connections; they are not seats in a managed team plan.
Whose storage is used when I send a coworker a file?
The sender’s account allowance is used. If the coworker sends a file back, that delivery uses their own allowance. There is no pooled team storage.
Does everyone have to pay?
No. Each person can start with Free within its limits. Pro increases that individual account’s storage, own-computer allowance, file availability and public-link download sessions.
Can someone receive later?
Yes. The sender must finish uploading first. The recipient can download before expiry even after the sending computer goes offline.
Can we manage everyone’s billing in one place?
Centralized team billing and membership administration are not currently available. Each account manages its own subscription.
Is it a shared project folder?
No. Transfers deliver copies. A later edit does not change a previously sent file, and Filelane does not merge simultaneous changes.
