Basic Uploading Questions:

• How do I upload?

  Once you have located a file or multiple files in the local window - this shows the files on your computer - that you want to upload there are three ways to add to your transfer queue and begin the upload:

  1. Select a file by clicking on the file icon and the click on the 'Add' button on the main menu.
  2. Once you have selected a file for upload, right-click and the menu options appear. Select 'Upload' – You can also use the keyboard shortcut F4.
  3. For many, this method is the easiest of all. Just select the file you want to upload and drag/drop the file to the remote window or to the transfer queue window – both locations do the same thing; add the file to the transfer queue ready for uploading.

• After uploading how do I get the download link?

  Right-click on any file in the remote window - this shows the files you have uploaded to sendspace - and a sub-menu is displayed. You can copy the download link location to your clipboard ready for pasting into a document, email etc. You can also send a file link to a recipient. In fact, you can send it to more than one recipient by separating multiple email addresses with a comma. For Mac users who cannot right-click, right-click menus can be enabled by pressing the Ctrl (Control) keyboard key and your mouse button simultaneously.

• Can I upload multiple files?

  Absolutely. You can upload more than one file at once and you can set the sendspace Wizard to start queued files automatically and begin the next file as each transfer is completed.

• Can I upload folders from my computer?

  You cannot upload folders, though you can create an online folder and upload the contents of a folder to it as long as each file is less than the maximum size allowed. Another way is to archive a folder first, such as creating a (split) zip file, and then use the Wizard to upload that.
