Getting a copy of files you approved

After you approve a file, the approval page offers to save a copy to a free File Approved account. You can download the files again and keep a record of what you approved.

If the sender invited you by email, the copy is yours automatically. Sign in or create an account with that same email, then open Shared with me in your dashboard.

If the file came to you through a link, the sender approves your access first, because a link can be forwarded. Enter your email or continue with Google or Microsoft. Once you're signed in, we send the sender your request and email you when they decide.

A copy is read only. You get the exact version you approved, its downloads and its approval certificate. If the sender uploads a newer version later, your copy stays on the version you approved.

For senders: requests show as a badge on the request card and in Access requests on the request page. Approve, or decline with a short reason that we pass on. You can remove access later without notifying anyone.
