Sharing & storage

Share music privately — without losing control of who hears it

Share unreleased music privately with full control. TYFRA Vault lets you set expiry dates, block downloads, and see link-level views and last activity — no public links, no leaks.

You need to send a demo, unreleased track, or mix to A&R, a manager, or a collaborator — without a public link, a permanent open folder, or wondering if they ever pressed play. Private sharing in Vault is built around links you control: expiry, downloads, and analytics — not DRM magic, but practical access control.

Why "private" matters more than most artists realise

Unlisted YouTube and "private" SoundCloud links still circulate. Shared drives are easy to forward. A leak is not just embarrassment — it can undercut a release plan or burn a relationship with a contact who trusted you to keep a mix confidential.

SoundCloud private links and unlisted YouTube

They are better than a public post, but anyone with the URL can replay or screen-capture. They are not optimised for version history, split context, or knowing whether the A&R actually listened.

What a leaked demo can cost you

Beyond the obvious: you lose control of narrative and timing. Private sharing in Vault is about reducing that risk with expiring links, download controls, and per-link visibility — while keeping the file in your catalog when the link expires.

What private music sharing looks like with TYFRA Vault

  • Private share link — no account needed to listen

    Recipients open the link in a browser. They do not need to register for TYFRA to hear the track.

  • Optional expiry

    Set a date after which the link stops working. The file stays in your Vault — you are not locked out of your own asset.

  • Block downloads

    Turn downloads off so people can listen (and comment if you allow it) without keeping a copy.

  • See link activity

    View counts and last activity on each link help you follow up — useful when you are waiting on a reply.

Vault's private links control access via the URL and your settings — they are not traditional file-level DRM. Use short expiries and separate links per recipient when you need the tightest control.

Sharing demos with industry contacts

Lead with a clear title and a short note: what you want feedback on (e.g. vocal level, arrangement, overall direction). When analytics show a play, your follow-up is grounded in fact — not a guess about whether they opened the email.

Private sharing vs releasing

Private links are for trusted circulation before you are ready for public discovery. When you are ready, public discovery and promo campaigns are separate steps — your Vault file stays the source of truth.

Quick checklist

  • Expiry and download settings match how sensitive the demo is.
  • Separate links for separate contacts if you need to revoke one without affecting others.
  • Comments on if you want feedback pinned to the waveform.

FAQ

Common questions

No — listening works without an account. If you enable comments on the link, leaving feedback on the public share page requires signing in to TYFRA; collaborators on the project can still comment in the full Vault track view.
Yes. When you generate a share link you can set an expiry date. After that date the link stops working automatically — no manual action needed.
No. Files in Vault are private by default. The public discovery feature is opt-in — you have to actively choose to make a track discoverable. A private share link gives access only to people who have the URL.
Each link records view count and last viewed time when the share page is loaded (anonymous listeners are not named individually). Use that together with follow-up — it is link-level activity, not a guarantee they listened start-to-finish.
Anyone with the link URL can access it during its active period. If you need tighter control, set a short expiry date or turn downloads off. For very sensitive demos, generate separate links per recipient so you can revoke individual ones if needed.
You can generate share links for individual tracks and for entire projects. The number of links is not capped — create separate links for different contacts as needed.
