Sharing & upload links

What it is

Share links let you send a track, album, mix, or playlist to anyone — a label A&R, a mixing engineer, a manager — without giving them an Aden account. The recipient opens a branded listen page in their browser. You control whether they can leave comments and whether they can download the file.

Upload links work the other direction: you send someone a link and they can drop files into it. The files land directly in your team's documents, media gallery, track covers, or as a received transfer — all from a simple drag-and-drop page, no account needed.

Using it

Sharing a track

1. Open any track and go to its Share tab.
2. Click New share link. Choose which version to share (or leave it on the current version), whether comments and downloads are allowed, and optionally set an expiry date.
3. Copy the generated link and send it. You can also click Send by email to fire off a branded email directly from Aden.
4. The recipient opens the link — they can listen, leave time-stamped comments, and download if you enabled it.

You can create multiple share links for the same track (for example, one for feedback and one for download-only distribution). Manage and revoke them from the same Share tab.

Sharing an album, mix, or playlist

The same flow applies: open the item, find its Share panel, create a link. For albums you can optionally restrict which tracks inside the album the link exposes.

Creating an upload link

1. From your team's Documents or a track's media section, create an upload link.
2. Give it an optional title, expiry date, and upload limit.
3. Copy the link and send it — or click Invite to email it directly.
4. The recipient visits the link, drags in their files (audio, artwork, documents — whatever you asked for), optionally leaves their name and a note, and submits.
5. The files appear in your team instantly.
