Request deadlines and limits

Set a deadline on a file request and the most a visitor can upload at once.

Updated

Request deadlines close a file request on the date you pick, and the upload limit caps how much a visitor can send at once.

Set a request deadline

On the new file request form, pick a deadline date in the calendar. The picker offers dates from one day ahead up to three years ahead.

What visitors see after the deadline

Once the deadline has passed, Tarkle no longer takes new uploads for the request. An upload that is refused comes back with the message "This request is no longer accepting files".

Set an upload limit

The Upload limit dialog holds the setting. In the Max upload size field, enter a size. The unit starts at GB. The dialog says: "Set the most a visitor can upload at once on this request." Leave the field empty for no limit.

File size limits on your plan

Your plan's per-file limit applies as well. Free supports uploads and transfers up to 1 GB each. Pro and Agency support files up to 200 GB.

Email when files arrive

The request form has a checkbox for email notifications when files are uploaded. It is ticked by default.

File requests on Free

File requests are on the Free plan, which includes "Share and request files". A form is active when it has no expiry or its expiry is still ahead. When your plan has reached its active form limit, Tarkle says: "You've reached your active File Request form limit for this plan. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited File Requests."

Next steps

Create one request on the Free plan, set a deadline and open the link yourself with a real file to test it. For the full picture of how a request collects files, read File requests. To compare plans, see the pricing page. When you are ready, sign up.
