MediaZilla offers two main ways to share content with viewers: Email Delivery and Share Links. Each has its own purpose, benefits, and limitations.
Email Delivery (Best for Secure, Private Access)
Sends recipients a personalized branded email invitation.
Recipients must log into or create a free MediaZilla account to accept the delivery.
Once accepted, the content is added to their account and remains accessible for life—even if the creator cancels their account.
Required to view content in the MediaZilla apps for iOS, Apple TV, Android, and Amazon Fire TV.
Can include permissions such as View Only, Download, or Can Deliver to Others (redistribute).
Provides the most secure and professional delivery option.
Share Links (Best for Quick Access)
A simple URL that opens in any browser.
No MediaZilla account required to view.
Can be set to Public, Password-Protected, or Private (disabled).
Ideal for sharing content quickly with friends, family, or on social media.
Content viewed through a Share Link is not delivered to the viewer’s account. This means they do not own lifetime access and cannot use the apps to view it.
Delivered vs. Undelivered Content
Delivered Content: Content that has been added to a user’s MediaZilla account via Email Delivery (or after purchase). Delivered content is permanent for that user and safe even if the creator’s account is canceled.
Undelivered Content: Content only in the creator’s account, accessed by others only through a Share Link. If the creator’s account is canceled, undelivered content is removed from the platform.
Choosing Between Them
Use Email Delivery for clients, paid content, or anything requiring secure, long-term access.
Use a Share Link for quick viewing in a browser when permanent ownership or app access isn’t required.
