As a freelance designer, my biggest headache used to be sending large design files—hundreds of megabytes—to clients quickly and securely.
Cloud drives were slow. Sometimes clients couldn’t open the files. I had to zip, split, and re-upload, only to hear, “The link expired,” or “I can’t access it.”
Then I discovered Mobilink.
It’s a tool that turns your own computer or external hard drive into a personal cloud. With it, I turned my laptop into a temporary file server:
- I drop the file into a shared folder
- Click one button to generate a download link
- Set an access password and an expiry time (e.g., 24 hours)
- Send the link to the client—they download instantly, no login needed
The file transfers directly (peer-to-peer), without going through any third-party server. It’s encrypted, fast, and private.
Even better, Mobilink automatically backs up versions of each file. I can restore deleted drafts, and it comes with AI-powered search—so if I type “logo pitch March version,” it pulls it up instantly.
Since I started using Mobilink, my workflow is smoother, my file delivery is faster, and my clients are happier.
Now I no longer worry about file size, expiration, or privacy.
Freelancers can—and should—work with the same confidence and professionalism as any full-time team.
