Solution 1Recommended

Manually Download and Re-upload Your SendNow Files

Since automatic data migration is not supported between the two services, you must manually download your files from the old platform and upload them to the new one.

Adobe Send has officially replaced SendNow. Unfortunately, user data including shared files and sending history are not automatically carried over during this transition. To prevent data loss and ensure your documents remain accessible, you need to manually back up your files.

1
Sign in to your legacy SendNow account

Navigate to the legacy SendNow portal and log in using your existing account credentials so you can access your older files.

2
Download the required files locally

Select all the files and documents you still need from your dashboard, and download them to a secure local folder on your computer's hard drive.

3
Upload files to Adobe Send

Sign in to the new Adobe Send service, upload your locally saved files, and generate new sharing links to distribute to your recipients.

4
Save a local copy of your history

Because sending history cannot be transferred to the new platform, take screenshots or create a local text document detailing your past transfers for your personal records.

History Transfer Limitation: Be aware that past transfer logs, recipient tracking data, and old sharing links cannot be imported into Adobe Send. Old links will eventually expire.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my old SendNow sharing links still work for recipients?

No, once the transition to Adobe Send is complete and the legacy platform is retired, your old SendNow sharing links will expire. You must upload the files to the new service and generate new links for your recipients.

Is there any way to automatically export my SendNow transfer history?

Currently, there is no automated tool or built-in feature to export sending history. You will need to manually record the information, such as by taking screenshots of your dashboard or saving the details into a spreadsheet.

What happens if I don't download my files before SendNow shuts down entirely?

If you do not manually download and back up your files before the legacy SendNow servers are permanently taken offline, your stored files and transfer data will be permanently lost.
