Protected download links give Baidu Netdisk users a way to share files without attaching them to email. The Windows client stores files online, syncs them across devices, and provides access through a Baidu Netdisk account.
Baidu Netdisk stores files in the cloud
Upload files to keep them in your online storage, then access them through your account on supported devices. The service is intended for large files as well as everyday documents, so the same account can serve as a place to keep files and retrieve them when needed.
The Windows app is one way to work with that cloud collection. Baidu Netdisk also supports Mac and Android, allowing files associated with the account to be reached on those platforms.
Sync files across devices
Baidu Netdisk syncs files between devices linked to the same account. This supports a workflow in which a file stored from a Windows PC can be accessed from another supported device, without relying on a direct transfer between the two machines.
- Store files in the cloud from Windows.
- Access the account from Mac or Android.
- Keep files available across supported devices through sync.
Share files with download links
For sharing, Baidu Netdisk can generate protected download links for other people. Send a link when a file is too large to attach conveniently, and recipients can use it to download the shared file. The feature is suited to passing files to friends or colleagues without moving them through email attachments.
