Some clubs and trainers like to share digital files with members, such as a workout plan, recipe book, or eBook. ClubRight does not let you attach files directly to an email or message. Instead, you upload your file to a free third-party service and paste the share link into your message. This article explains why, and how to do it.
Why files are not attached directly
Attachments make bulk emails much more likely to land in junk or spam folders, and large files such as PDFs can be slow to arrive or fail to deliver altogether. Sharing a download link instead keeps your message lightweight, so it reaches members reliably, and they simply click through to download the file.
How to share a file
Upload your file to a free file-sharing service (see the options below) and copy the share or download link.
Compose your message to a member, a group, or your whole membership. See Sending a message to an individual or Sending a group or bulk message.
Paste the link into the body of your email or SMS.
Send as normal. Members click the link to download the file.
File-sharing services to try
Any service that gives you a shareable download link will work. Three free, widely used options are:
WeTransfer: transfer one or more files and get a link to share. Good for one-off sends.
Dropbox: store files and share a download link. Recipients may be prompted to sign in or create an account to download.
Google Drive: store files and share a link. You will need a Google account, and you can set the link so anyone with it can download.
Each service has its own guide for creating a share link. Once you have the link, the steps above are the same whichever you use.
