What is File folders?

A file folder is a shareable, virtual drawer for your teaching materials. Upload handouts, slides, worksheets or recordings, describe each one, and share the whole folder behind a single code - no accounts, no e-mail attachments.

Participants scan the QR code or open the link, see a clean list of files with your descriptions, and download whatever they need. Every download is recorded, so you always know which materials actually reached the room.

See it in action

From upload to download

You upload files into a folder and show the room one QR code. Participants open the folder on their phones without creating accounts and download the materials, while the counter next to each file shows right away how many times it was downloaded.

Features

Key capabilities

  • One link for everything

    Share an entire folder of files behind a single QR code, link and 6-character access code.

  • Describe each file

    Add a short note to every file so participants know what it is and when to use it.

  • Version updates

    Replace a file with a corrected version in place - the link and download history stay the same.

  • Download statistics

    See how many times each file was downloaded and a live log of every download.

  • No participant accounts

    Participants open the folder anonymously and download instantly - nothing to install or sign up for.

  • A source for the AI generators

    The AI generators read the folder’s files - a training agenda, a quiz, a flashcard set or a survey can be built straight from them.

  • Tool folders

    Tools that take files create their own folders and show where each file is used - with a jump straight to the session that uses it.

Step by step

How it works

  1. Create a folder

    Give it a name like “Lecture 3 - materials”.

  2. Upload files

    Add any files up to 50 MB and describe each one.

  3. Share the code

  4. Track downloads

    Watch the per-file download counts grow as participants grab the materials.
