Shared files are stored in the holding area for 15 days and then they're automatically deleted.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. To share the same file with many recipients:
   
   Nominate the email address of the main recipient in the "To:" field of the form presented in Step 2, and one or more email addresses in the "Cc:" field of the form. Multiple email addresses need to be separated by a comma eg. person@here.com,another@there.com
   
   
2. To share many files with the same recipient(s):
   
   Up to ten files may be shared at a time by pressing each of the available "Browse" buttons and selecting appropriate files. If you wish to share more than ten files, the easiest way is to create a zip archive on your computer containing the files you want to share, then share this single file with the intended recipient(s). You may create the zip archive using something like 7-zip (http://www.7-zip.org) or WinZip (http://www.winzip.com) on Windows, ZipIt (http://www.maczipit.com) or zip (http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/) on Linux.
