Overview
🔒 Secure Document Sharing by cloudHQ
Lead generation software for Google Drive™. Gate your content and collect qualified leads from every file you share.

⚠️ Problem:
You create a whitepaper, a report, a brochure. You post the link. People download it. And you have no idea who they are.

No name. No email. No location. No way to follow up.
Standard Google Drive™ links give you zero lead capture. You are leaving pipeline on the table every time someone downloads your content.

💡 Solution:
Secure Document Sharing by cloudHQ gates any file in your Google Drive™ behind a password and email form. Right-click any file, set a password and expiration date, and generate a secure share link in seconds.

Post it on your website, send it by email, or drop it in a chat. When someone clicks the link, they enter the password and provide their email before accessing the file.

That contact is now a lead.

📊 Every download, tracked.
Go to your dashboard to review detailed activity reports. For every file, you can see:
- Who accessed it
- When it was opened
- Where they were located
- Which IP address was used

Know who is engaging with your content and follow up with confidence.

💼 WHO IT IS FOR
Marketing teams gating whitepapers, reports, and brochures
Sales teams sharing proposals and tracking prospect engagement
B2B teams that need to generate leads from downloadable content
Consultants and freelancers delivering gated client resources
Any team that shares files and wants to know who is on the other end

We send contracts through Google Drive every day, and being able to add passwords and expiration dates without leaving Drive has made the process much simpler. Clients understand it immediately and we spend less time worrying about document access.

The expiration feature is excellent. We frequently share financial reports that should only be available for a limited time. Setting an automatic expiration date takes care of that for us.

Straightforward and practical. Password protection, expiration dates, and access tracking are exactly the features I was looking for without adding unnecessary complexity

Password protection is easy to apply and clients have had no trouble accessing files. The audit trail is also useful when we need to confirm who downloaded a document.

The download tracking feature helped us identify whether shared files had actually been accessed. That alone has saved several follow up emails.

We started using this for board meeting materials. Being able to disable access after the meeting is over gives us much better control over confidential information.

I share design drafts with external partners and wanted more control than standard Drive links provide. This extension filled that gap nicely.

I had been using a separate file sharing service just for secure documents. This extension let me keep everything inside Google Drive, which reduced a lot of extra steps.

Its location restrictions and access logs were the features that convinced me to install this. It gives me visibility that regular sharing links do not.

What I like most is that it works directly from Google Drive. I don’t have to upload files somewhere else or maintain another account.
