Upload Share can be created using Mediaflux Desktop for external collaborators to upload data to your Mediaflux project.

Log into Mediaflux Desktop
Open "Asset Finder"
In Asset Finder, navigate to choose the destination namespace (folder) where the data should be uploaded.
Right click the destination namespace (folder) to open the context menu, and select "Create Upload Share"
It will pop up a new window to configure the Upload Share. You can fill in the details (only the Name is mandatory).
- We generally recommend you set an Valid To field for the share to expire at.
- If you want to email the upload share link to someone (possibly yourself) enter the address in the Invitation Email entry box.
- If you enter a Password, you will need to communicate that yourself to the recipient of the shareable. If you set a complex password, then it is suggested that you copy/paste it in from some other source. For example, if you are going to send the password to someone in a separate email, enter it into that email, then copy and paste it into the GUI (because you can neither see it nor copy it from the GUI once it is set).
- There is an option to limit the amount of data that can be uploaded into your project using this share.
- There is an option called 'Add Unique Collection'. If you check this, then when the data are uploaded, a parent namespace (folder) with a unique name is created and the data are then created beneath it. Otherwise, the data the consumer uploads go directly into the specified namespace (folder).
- After you click the Create Upload Share button, the GUI will be replaced by another with the opportunity to copy the upload share link to the Clipboard (so that you can paste it somewhere).

All the recipient of the Upload Share (link) needs to do is click on it in an email or paste it into their browser. This will start the Mediaflux Data Mover app to select and upload the data.
