Send and receive

Receive files with an upload request

Create a request link so another person can securely deliver files to your account.

Create a request

  1. Open Upload requests in Dashboard.
  2. Add a title that tells the sender what you need.
  3. Choose the allowed file types, deadline, and size constraints available to your plan.
  4. Copy the request link.

What the sender sees

The sender opens a focused upload page. They do not receive access to your Dashboard or other received files.

Storage and ownership

Files delivered to a request appear in the request owner's received area. The request owner can remove a received file; storage accounting remains bound to the upload reservation rules shown by Astral.
