Whether you run a Windows or Mac-based operating system, the Uploadfiles desktop app makes file uploading simple and straightforward. It works quietly in the background so it doesn’t interfere with anything else, while also being incredibly CPU and memory efficient. You’ll barely know it’s running, so you can focus on the task at hand and let us offer the storage support you need.

Seamless file uploads

When you have a busy day you need to know the file hosting system you are using is on-hand at all times. Our Uploadfiles app is designed to monitor your local folder of choice for updates made throughout the day. That means whenever a file or folder is added or modified, it is automatically uploaded to your Uploadfiles account. Once installed you don’t have to do anything else beyond ensuring the app is running in the background and we’ll take care of the rest.

For added ease of use, you can simply drag and drop files directly into our files share system via the app icon in Windows, or the app tray icon on Mac. Your data is instantly backed up in multiple locations in our secure cloud system so you never have to worry about data loss again.

One click copy & share

To check the progress of files uploading or syncing, all you have to do is check the app window where you can see the progress of each file upload as you drag and drop them into the queue. Once complete, just click the link icon to instantly copy a shareable file URL to your clipboard. Then you can share the link with whoever else you may need to access the upload in the future.

Each file upload is also assigned its own unique 15 digit hash. This security is put in place to further protect your files so only those given permission to access the file can do so. We know how important privacy is to you online, which is why we go above and beyond to protect your data from start to finish.

Our quick search facility does exactly that to help you locate the right information to save valuable time.

When our file hosting system has been opened by clicking on the Uploadfiles icon in the tray, you will see the search field is already focused. This is to make it easier to find the files you need as we know that sometimes even a few seconds can make all the difference.
