Handy upload parameters

Before uploading a file, you can customize how the download and cleanup is performed.

• If you want your file to never be deleted please check the "Permanent ticket" checkbox. Your file will always be available until you manually remove it.
• If you want to be notified every time someone downloads the file you can write your e-mail in the "Get notified by email" box. You'll receive notifications every time the file is successfully downloaded or removed from the server. This is great if you want extra confirmation that your email has been acted upon.

Advanced upload parameters

Expire in total # of hours:

Type the maximal number of hours the uploaded file is allowed to be kept on the server. After this period is passed the file will be deleted from the server whether is was downloaded or not.

Expire in # of hours after last dl:

Type the number of hours the uploaded file is allowed to be kept on the server after being downloaded. After this period is passed without activity, the file will be deleted from the server.

Expire after # of downloads:

Type the number of times the uploaded file is allowed to be downloaded in total. After this amount is reached the file will be deleted from the server. Handy if you need to ensure the file is downloaded just once from a single person.

If at least one of these parameters expires the file will be deleted. You can set any parameter to "0" to disable the condition.
