File Drop (secret) - This is how it works

The “File Drop” allows people who receive a specific link (the so-called “link recipients”) to upload files to a shared folder. The trick: The “link recipients” cannot see the files already in the folder.

Create a "File Drop"

• Click on the “three dot menu” next to the file or folder name you want to share.
• Select “Share” from the drop-down menu.
• A sidebar window will open on the right-hand side of the screen.
• At the sidebar window, you will find the area for “Public links”. There click on the "Add link" button.
• Select the option for "Secret File Drop".
• Type a password and confirm the entries with click on "copy link".
• You can also set an "Expiry date", if you want the link to expire. External Sharing, if you want to know how to set the Expiry date.
• Now you send the link and the password to a "link recipient".

To do's for the "link recipient"

• The “link recipient” opens the received link in a browser.
• The “link recipient” enters the password and then clicks on “Continue”.
• Upload files:
  • The “File drop folder” is opened. The “link recipient” can upload their files here without being able to view the existing contents of the folder.
  • As confirmation that the upload was successful, a pop-up window appears in the lower right corner.

important

The “link recipient” does not have access to existing files - they can only add new files.

Now you know how you can share a file drop link
