3. Secured Link
This secured link is a way to access the Portal. You will need to share it with the person separately via email, SMS, chat, etc. Please make sure to keep this link with you, as BLAZE does not save this anywhere on the server. If you lose it before sharing, you’ll need to start over.
4. Access the Files
Once the person sends you some files from the Upload Portal, you will receive an email notification as well as a bell notification in BLAZE. You can access the files from the File History and Portals page, in the Portals tab. Here you will see all portal folders created by you.
5. Downloading the files
Click on the portal folder where you received the package. You will see the complete details of the packages received under this folder. Click on the download icon to download the file.
Note: The data retention is up to 30 days, so it’s better to download and save your files before it gets expire.

Each portal created will expire after 30 days. Subsequent to that, it’s necessary to regenerate the link and personally share it again.
1. Click on the “Manage Link” button.
2. Reset the expiration date, click on “Regenerate Link,” and finally, share it with your colleagues or clients.
Note: If you do not wish to receive any packages from the respective portal folder, you have the option to disable the link as well.
