How to collect files from your friends with Upload link?
It’s that time again – the time to collect photos from your friends, get all the annual leave applications and more and more files. A few days ago, I finally moved into a new apartement, and guess how much paperwork this little joy of mine caused. I was literally on a goose chace for real-estate contracts, water and electricity bill IDs, protocols and other types of documents. Unfortunately, collecting files is a not-so-cool part of our daily routine, especially when we’re in “hurry-up” mode.
Upload links – like ordering takeout, but instead you’re requesting files Upload links are unique links to your folders at pCloud, which give your friends, your coworkers, or your landlord the freedom to put files there. It’s the perfect alternative for file requests, because you just paste the Upload link to a specific folder in a text message and your recipient has to do the rest. It’s completely free, your friends don’t need to have a pCloud account and you don’t have to give a tip. (takeaway pun intended). Curiously enough, Upload links are also how I collected all my real-estate documents without moving a finger past my working desk.
Creating an Upload link is simple
It’s super simple to create an Upload link to a folder in your pCloud account.
In case you’re wondering… …how NOT to get spammed by thousands of files from your Upload links, you can easily add some tweaks like setting up an expiration date and a limit on how much your friends can upload.
Go into my.pCloud and find the folder you’re sharing From the Share dropdown menu, click Share Upload link Click on the “Settings” tab in the pop-up window that appears Settings is where you’ll find some extra options to personalize your Upload link.
