That's the ideal. Now here's reality.
Every file you email is a black hole.
No tracking. No access control. No way to know who actually read it. You never find out which prospects engaged — and every one of those readers is a potential lead you'll never capture with an unprotected attachment.
For teams who need to know what happens after ‘send’
Sales, marketing, consulting, fundraising — if you share files externally, GateDocs gives you visibility and control.
Sales proposals
Know the moment a prospect opens your proposal. Follow up with perfect timing instead of guessing.

Gate whitepapers and case studies behind lead capture. Turn every download into a qualified lead.

Frequently asked questions
What file types can I share?
PDFs, Microsoft Office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), and images (PNG, JPG, GIF). Maximum file size is 50 MB. Office documents are automatically converted for preview.
How does lead capture work?
When you enable lead capture on a file, recipients see a form before they can access the download. You choose which fields to collect — typically email, name, and company. Captured leads appear in your dashboard instantly.
Do recipients need an account?
No. Recipients never need a GateDocs account. They visit the link, complete the form or enter the password, and access the file immediately.
What happens when a link expires?
Recipients see a clean message explaining the link has expired or the download limit has been reached. They can join a waitlist to be notified when access is restored. You can extend or reactivate links at any time.
How secure are my files?
Files are encrypted at rest and in transit. Access is controlled through password protection, link expiry, and download limits. Your data is stored on enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure with industry-standard security practices.
Is GateDocs GDPR compliant?
Yes. We take data privacy seriously. Collected lead data is stored securely, and you can delete individual leads or export and purge all data at any time. We process data in accordance with GDPR requirements.
Can I use my own branding?
Yes. On Pro and above, upload your logo and set your brand colours. Every download page reflects your brand, not ours.
I'm currently using DocSend. How do I switch?
Simply upload your files to GateDocs and set up your gates. There's no migration step — you can run both platforms in parallel while you transition. GateDocs gives you multi-field lead capture forms that DocSend doesn't offer, plus a generous free tier to get started.
Can I export leads to my CRM?
Yes. Export captured leads as CSV from your dashboard at any time. We're also building direct integrations with popular CRMs — join the beta to be first in line.
What happens if I exceed my file limit?
Existing files remain accessible to you and your recipients. You'll need to upgrade or remove files before uploading new ones.
What happens to my data if I cancel?
Your files and lead data remain accessible for 30 days after cancellation. You can export everything during that window. After 30 days, data is permanently deleted. We never hold your data hostage.
Can I change plans later?
Yes. Upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time from your account settings. Changes take effect immediately with prorated billing.
