2 min read · Updated 2026-11-13

Short answer

When you send by email, press Send code, open the email titled Your Pandafile code, and type the six digits into the code box. The code works for 15 minutes.

To stop people sending spam in someone else's name, Pandafile asks you to confirm your own email address before it sends files by email. It only takes a moment, and you do not need a password.

Step by step

  1. On the upload page, choose Send by email and add your recipients.
  2. Type your own email address in the Your email field and press Send code.
  3. Open your inbox and find the email with the subject Your Pandafile code followed by six digits.
  4. Type the six digits into the 6-digit code box on Pandafile.
  5. Your email is confirmed and you can press send. You will not be asked again on this browser while you stay signed in.
The Send by email form with a Send code button and six boxes showing the code 482917.
Type the code into the six boxes.
A phone inbox with the email Your Pandafile code, opened to show the six digits in large type.
The code is in the subject line and in the email itself.

Good to know

  • The code works for 15 minutes.
  • Only the newest code works. If you pressed Send code twice, use the latest email.
  • You can keep the Pandafile tab open while you check your email in another tab or app.
  • If you are already signed in, you skip this step.

The code says it is wrong or expired

Check that you typed all six digits and that you are using the code from the most recent email. If more than 15 minutes have passed, press Send a new code and try again with the new one.

The code never arrived

Look in your spam or junk folder and in any Promotions or Updates tab. Check the email address for typos, then send a new code. Some work email systems hold messages for a few minutes before delivering them, so give it a little time.
