How to Manage Project Files
The "Files" tab in the workspace centralizes all project documents and audio files: references shared by the client, the creative's draft sketches, and the final deliverables. Understanding the three types of files and their protection options will help you manage the project more effectively.
The three file types
When uploading a file, you must specify which category it belongs to. Each type serves a specific purpose within the project workflow.
Accepted file formats
The workspace accepts audio files in the following formats. The maximum file size is 500 MB.
File upload security options
When uploading sketches and final versions, the designer can enable protection settings to control access to their work before the project is completed and payment is finalized.
The file can be listened to in the workspace but cannot be downloaded. The download will be automatically unlocked once the project has been completed and the final payment has been released.
