| You can easily upload any of your files by clicking on the button "Click Here to Upload A File" that you can see on the top of every page. Chose the file you are going to upload and confirm your choice by clicking on the button "Upload it". As soon as your file has been uploaded to the 2shared server, you will be able to manage it by using some administration tools like downloading and deleting the file, editing its description, changing or adding publisher's name or email, and protecting your file with your password. |
| How can I protect my file with a password? |
| If you want to protect your uploaded file, you can set a password for download. Right after uploading your file, you will see a link forwarding you to the administration page. Also, you can get there by clicking on the "Go to Administration Page" button. As the owner of the uploaded file you should fill in the "Add download password" field with any secure password that people you are going to share this protected file with will use for accessing and downloading it. Provide your visitors with the password and the link that you can copy from the field "Download link" on the Administration page. |
| How can I delete an uploaded file? |
| You can do it on the Administration page. To get there you should follow the Administration link that you get right after uploading your file has been completed. Simply click on the button "Delete File" to remove the file from the 2shared server. |
| Where can I add and edit description to my file? |
| The Administration page is the correct place where you can do that. Follow the link you get shortly after uploading the file and fill in the field "Edit file description". If you do not want to add any description, clean the field up. To save the changes you have done click on the "Save" button. |
| Can I add a publisher's name? |
| Yes, you can do it on the Administration page. To get there, follow the link you obtain after file uploading has been completed. In the field "Add publisher name or e-mail" you should enter your name (nickname) or your contact e-mail address. |
| Administration link - important! |
| Once your file is uploaded you will be provided with administration link. Please note that in order to be able to manage (rename/delete) the file in future you have to save your admin link right away after uploading! Otherwise no changes to the file will be possible and the only way to delete it will be writing us a request on this matter. |
| How can I share my files with others? |
|
If you want to invite other people to see your file you should provide them with a shared link, which you get from the "Here is your download link" field every time after a new file has been uploaded. Also you can copy this link from your Administration page (to get there click on the "Go to Administration Page" button that you can see after uploading a file). You should copy the link and e-mail it to a person you would like to share the file with.
If you wish your file to be available for downloading for certain people only, you have to protect it by password. |
| Who can see my uploaded files? |
| Any uploaded file can be seen and downloaded by anybody who has correct download link. However, if you do not want to allow others to download your uploaded file you can protect it with a password. In this case, other people will be able just to see but not download the file. To invite particular users to download the protected file you should provide them with both the password and the unique access link. |
| Can I add my file to a particular 2shared category (photo, music, video, etc.) when uploading it? |
| You have no need to classify your files by yourself. 2shared system does it for you every time when you upload a new file by defining its category and adding your file to the appropriate category on 2shared storage. |
| How can I download a file from 2shared? |
| If you have found the file you are interested in My Files list, click on the blue arrow with the hint "Download" opposite the file name. Otherwise open provided download link in your browser. If the file is not protected by a password you can easily download it by clicking on the Download button. If the file is protected by a password and you know it, you should enter the password into the appropriate form to be able to access the file. If you do not know the password, you will not be able to download the file. |

| Yes, 2shared is glad to offer you such a service. After signing in, click on "My Files" button in the right top corner of any 2shared page to open the list of previously uploaded files. |
