Why gated file sharing beats bio links

A bio link is a dead end — you never learn who clicked. A gated file captures the visitor's details, records the download, and drops them straight into your CRM.

Branded viewer for every link

Your file links open on a clean, branded Xreply page with a built-in viewer — no ugly drive-hosted pop-ups or sign-in walls.

Gate files to capture leads

Require name, email, and WhatsApp before the file unlocks. Every gate submission becomes a CRM lead automatically.

Deliver files at scale

Paste the link into your DM template and every matching commenter gets the file delivered automatically — with your branding.

Track opens and downloads

See download counts per file and full open/download history on each lead's timeline.

Works inside DM menus

Add files as items in your inbound DM carousel, so a DM asking for your guide gets the guide instantly.

Storage included per plan

From 10MB on the free plan up to 2GB on Pro — no per-file pricing, no surprise charges.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does file sharing work in Instagram DMs?

Upload a PDF, document, or image (up to 25MB). Xreply gives you a branded viewer link you paste into your DM template. When someone opens it, they see a clean Xreply page with a built-in viewer.

What is a gated file?

A gated file asks for contact details — name, email, and WhatsApp — before the content unlocks. It turns a free file into a lead magnet that captures the visitor automatically in your CRM.

Where do gated-file leads go?

Anyone who unlocks a gated file is captured as a lead in your Instagram CRM with source "File visit", their submitted details, and the file they opened.

Can I track how many times a file was downloaded?

Yes. Every file shows its download count, and every open or download is recorded on the lead's activity timeline.

What types of files can I share?

PDFs, documents, and images up to 25MB. Upload them in the Media tab and paste the branded link into any DM template, menu item, or bio.

Is sharing files through DMs safe for my account?

Yes. The file link is a normal HTTPS link you paste into your own DM template. There's no browser automation, no password sharing, and no risk to your Instagram account.
