How do I choose files to upload with the file picker?

If you prefer clicking to dragging, the green "Choose files" button opens your computer's normal file window. It is the same window you use to attach a file to an email, so it should feel familiar.

Pick your files

1. Go to pandafile.co and click the green "Choose files" button inside the drop box. Clicking the empty part of the box does the same thing.
2. In the window that opens, go to the folder that holds your files.
3. Click a file to select it. To pick several, hold Ctrl (Windows) or Cmd (Mac) and click each one, or click the first, hold Shift and click the last.
4. Press Open (or Choose on some systems). Your files appear in the list on Pandafile.
5. Pick "Get a link" or "Send by email", then press Send.

Adding files from different places

The file window only lets you pick from one folder at a time. That is fine: once your first batch is in the list, click "Add more" and choose files from another folder. You can repeat this as often as you need before you press Send.

Files or a folder?

"Choose files" adds individual files. If you want to send a whole folder, including everything inside it and its subfolders, use the "Choose a folder" button next to it instead. The folder structure is kept for your recipient.

Good to know

• Any type of file is fine, from photos and videos to design files, documents and archives, as long as it is legal to share.
• The meter under the box shows how much of your free 10 GB is left this week, and when space frees up again.
• If a file is greyed out in the window, your computer may not let the browser read it. Copy it to another folder and try again.
• Nothing uploads until you press Send, so you can remove files from the list without any harm.
