An NDA data upload is a hosted packet of files that does not open until the NDA is signed. Think of a miniature data room: diligence folders, a design drop, a dataset sample. SendbyLaw hosts the bytes on every plan (up to 200 MB per file on Free, 1 GB on Pro, 4 GB on Ultra) with plan storage from 512 MB to 4 TB.

Data room vs. email zip
Email zips get forwarded without a new signature. A gated upload gives you a signature record tied to that packet. Combine with least-privilege on your own systems for anything truly sensitive (credentials, full production dumps).
What to upload — and what not to
- Do: PDFs, office docs, media, code archives the recipient needs
- Do not: live production secrets that should stay in a vault
- Do not: personal data you have no lawful basis to share
Retention
Hosted files can expire based on your retention setting. External links you wrap are not stored as file bytes. Plan storage is a cap, not a recommendation to dump everything.
Plans
Free: 512 MB storage and 200 MB per file, plus link wrapping. Basic $1/mo: 1 GB and 300 MB per file. Pro $10/mo: 10 GB and 1 GB per file. Ultra $40/mo: 4 TB and 4 GB per file. Tracking and custom backgrounds are on paid plans.
