Upload files to Cway using Quick Share

You can upload files with no affiliation to a specific project to Cway using Quick Share if the purpose is to share them with someone.

To upload and share files, follow these steps:

  1. In Quick Share, click Share.

  2. In the Create share dialogue there are two tabs, General and Media.
    Go to the Media tab.

  3. Drag-n-drop files from anywhere in Cway or your own desktop into the drop zone.

  4. Go to the General tab, fill in the details and click Share.

In the Quick Share window, the files that you've shared have this icon in front of them:

upload_icon_cway

The recipient will receive an email with a link to Cway saying that files are available for their download. If you check the box labeled 'Send me a link that I can forward,' the link will be sent to you.

When your recipient has downloaded the files, the red dot marking the share in Quick Share turns green, unless you've chosen the 'anonymous' share (in which case the share doesn't appear in Quick Share at all and you can't monitor the status of the download).

Your uploaded and shared files remain in Quick Share until you delete them by right clicking and choosing Delete.
