# Files come to you, tagged.

Clients and teammates upload through a private link, files arrive tagged in your library, and Canva designs come in with one tap.

## What it does

### File requests

Send a private link, and people sign in with a free account and upload, up to 1 GB a file.

### One tap in from Canva

Connect Canva once, then one tap brings a design into the post as a picture, every page for a carousel, or a video.

### Style profiles

Save links to videos you like, and your assistant writes a style profile from them. We store the links, never other people’s videos.

### Originals clear themselves

Originals clear 30 days after they are posted unless you keep them.

### Tagged in your library

Uploads land tagged in your media library, with a push when they arrive.

We make Chockstone Labs, so we are not neutral. These rows are the ones this page is about, so each tool’s strengths elsewhere don’t show here: our [full comparisons](https://chockstonelabs.com/compare/) say where each tool is ahead. Prices and plans change often, so check their sites before you decide. If something here is wrong, email [hello@chockstonelabs.com](mailto:hello@chockstonelabs.com?subject=Comparison%20correction) and we will fix it.
