Steps To Take If You Have Problems Uploading Files

If you have problems uploading files, especially large ones, we recommend that you give the following suggestions a try:

  • Use a different browser: We recommend using Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari or Edge. We still support Internet Explorer 11 and it works reasonably well, however we strongly encourage upgrading to Edge for a number of reasons - including security and technology incompatibilities.

  • Use Filemail Desktop! This is the most robust way of sending files - and it also supports sending folders. The app offers enhanced reliability, faster upload speeds, and built-in safeguards against file corruption or interruptions. Grab it here: https://www.filemail.com/apps

  • Make sure the files you are sending are not opened in another program and that they are located on a local hard drive.

  • Be careful and do not remove or rename the files that are currently being uploaded. Doing so will break upload of removed or renamed files.

  • Try to send some other files - just to see if these are uploaded correctly.

  • Restart pc/mac and also router/firewall. You'd be amazed how many times this resolves the problem.- Ensure you are using a stable internet connection to avoid upload interruptions.

  • Close unnecessary background activities such as applications that may consume internet bandwidth to improve upload speed and reliability.

If you still have trouble, please contact support and explain your problem.
