====== How do I send files/folders on my Storage? ======

Storage Center **Drop To** function allows you to send huge files via email. Instead of attaching the actual file to the email, DropFile embeds URL links of the files of which the email recipient will download from.\\
DropTo works for both Storage Center users of the same domain and external users with an email address.

===== Dropping Files to External Users =====

First, select the files and folders that you would like to send.

The "Send File/Folders" window will be launched. At the **"Email"** field, enter the email address of the recipient. If you have more than one email address, separate them with a comma. You can key in any subject and short message as you wish. Then, choose how many days the URL link will be valid for. For added security, you can enter a passphrase to protect the files (The recipient has to provide the passphrase to access the shared files. Find out more in [[faq:storage:web_share_file_with_passphrase|Sharing Files with Password Protection]]). Lastly, if you want to be notified when the recipient has downloaded the files, check the "Notify Me" option.
