INDD files
INDD file transfer, straight to the printer or the client
Mail bounces it, chat apps squeeze it, storage sites make you wait twice. Drop your INDD file in — straight out of InDesign — and hand over a short code. A working design file carries every layer, and every layer has weight.

Why it fits your work
The INDD file arrives untouched
No re-encoding, no resizing, nothing lost on the way — what you send is byte for byte what lands on the other device.
No account on either side
The other side opens a link or types a short code. Nothing to install and nothing to sign up for, on a phone as well as a computer.
Pause and pick up
A file of 20 MB – 2 GB on a shaky line does not start over — hold the transfer and carry on when the line clears.
Phone to computer, no cable
Point a camera at the square code and the INDD file moves between the two devices directly.

Questions people ask
How big can a INDD file be?
Up to 5 GB in a free share, and no size limit at all on Max.
Is my INDD file re-compressed on the way?
Never. It is handed over exactly as it is — same bytes, same quality, same details inside it.
Does the other side need the same program?
To open the INDD file afterwards, yes — InDesign all read it. To receive it, no: a browser is enough.
How long does the code keep working?
The share stays open for seven quiet days, and you can close it yourself the moment the file is collected.
