Downloadable Review Links

Is there a way to allow viewers to download the original file from the Replay view link?

  • Hi, 

     

    We currently do offer Downloadable links. If you're the owner of a file, you can click the settings (gear icon) in the sharing modal to set a password, and download controls for your link. Receivers of the link will be able to download the file if the download controls are activated. 

     

    In the meantime, feel free to provide any feedback or ideas in our new ideas board! 

     

    Thanks for giving Replay a try!

    Thanks for your question! Currently, we do not offer the ability to download Replay files. We understand that offering the ability to download files is an important part of the workflow. We're never done, and are always looking for ways to make Replay a better tool, so stay tuned!

        Similar to the toggle on the Review Link the allow us to toggle on/off the ability to download the video. I would like that same ability added to the view only link. The reason being at the end of a project I no longer invite feedback from the end user/client but I DO want them to download the file. So I would prefer to send the view only link at that point allowing them to download from there.
