Connect an upload page to a third party Cloud hosting service ​

By default, the upload pages transmit the protected files through links sent by email to the recipients of a page. It is also possible to connect the upload page to third party Cloud services (such as OneDrive, Exchange, Dropbox, GDrive).

The configuration of these parameters is done on the last upload page configuration screen.

Connection with a service managed by the administrator ​

(This paragraph only concerns Dropbox and Gdrive connections, for other services, please contact support)

In case the administrator, having access to the dashboard, also has access to the service to which the page needs to be logged in, the administrator just has to click on "Login".

A connection request with the desired service will then be proposed in order to connect the page to the service.

Connection with a user-managed service ​

(This paragraph only concerns Dropbox and Gdrive connections, for other services, please contact support)

In case the administrator, having access to the dashboard, does not have access to the service to which the page should be connected, he can send a login request to a user having access to the service.

All the administrator has to do is click on "Invite someone else".

It will then be necessary to enter the email address of the user who has access to the service.

The user will receive by email a link leading to a connection request with the desired service will then be proposed in order to connect the page to the service.

Customize the location and name of transmitted files ​

Once the page is connected to one or more hosting services, when a person transmits files via the page, the files will be automatically transferred to the default folder, and will have a name of the same name. following this format : {YYYYmmddHHMMSS}-{file_id}-{filename}. For example, if someone transfers the file fichier.pdf, the name of the uploaded file will be : 20200602183055-1-fichier.pdf.

This is not a "user friendly" file name and it is possible to set both the location of the file (for example to make a folder by email from a sender) and the name of the transmitted file. To do this, click on "Location" :

And then fill in the format of the filename to be transmitted.

To customize the folder and the name of the file to transmit, several parameters are available:

For example, if you want to make one folder per year, containing one folder per transmitter, with its files in it, you can use the following configuration: %Y/%UPLOADER_NAME/%FILE_NAME. So, if the user Alice transmits the file file.pdf, the file will be transferred to the 2020/Alice/ folder and the file will have the name file.pdf.
