Importing Files

To use the Hotfolder or File System Connect to upload files, follow these steps.

If you want to learn how to set up an upload collection, please read "Setting Up An Upload Collection".

Once an upload collection was set up, go to the settings of the collections and copy the URL to connect with the Hotfolder or File System Connect:

• right click on the desired collection

• "Settings"

• go to the tab "Hotfolder & File System Connect"

• copy the desired URL (either "Hotfolder URL" or "File System Connect URL")

As a Mac User

As a Mac user, right click on Finder and choose "Connect with Server". Paste the Hotfolder or File System Connect URL and click on "Connect". Then connect as a guest. Now you can drag your files into the folder. The folder will stay under "Locations" until you disconnect it.

As a Windows User

As a Windows user, you can simply use the Windows Explorer (not the Internet Explorer). Open the Windows explorer and right click on "This PC" or "Network". In the menu choose "Map Network Drive". Paste the Hotfolder or File System Connect URL and click on "Finish".

Alternatively you can use Cyberduck (a free program that is a dedicated webdav client) to connect to the Hotfolder or File System Connect.
