FAQs about Uploading Files

How do I send multiple files at one time?
To ‘zip’ some files on a PC, simply place all the items you want to send into one folder - say on your desktop - give it a name, then right click and choose ‘Send to compressed (zip) folder’. The zipped file will appear in the same location as your original folder. Now drop the zip file into the desktop DropSend tool - or upload it via the website in the usual way.

If you’re on a Mac it’s a pretty similar process. If the individual files are not already in one folder, create a folder and place them in it. Then right click on the file and choose ‘Create archive of “xxxxx”‘. Your compressed file will appear as a .zip file on the desktop.

Are my files secure with your dropbox?
Yes. The infrastructure was designed from the ground up to be highly secure. Your files are stored on state-of-the-art servers, protected by advanced firewalls and housed in a SAS70 Type 2-certified data center.

What hardware and software do I need?
All you need is a modern web browser (Safari, Internet Explorer 5.5+ or Firefox). filebox is hosted on our fast, dedicated web servers, you don't have to install a thing!

How many photos can I send?
You can send up to 2GB of photos. The exact number of photos will depend on the format they are saved in,and the actual size of the photos.

For example:
High Resolution (10 megapixel) JPEG
1GB = 220 Photos
2GB = Around 400 Photos
