New application for sharing large files

Tuesday 15 October 2024

Web Dropoff Box has been decommissioned and can no longer be used to share large files.

As of Monday 14 October, FileSender, a new file sharing service has replaced Web Dropoff Box. You can use FileSender to share large files in any format with recipients both within and external to the University.

FileSender is provided by Research and Education Advance Network New Zealand (REANNZ) and meets the University’s security standards. Its encryption protocols ensure that files only reach their intended recipients – and no one else.

  2. Select "The University of Auckland" using  the drop-down menu
  3. Login using your UPI and password
  4. Attach your files
  5. Add the email addresses you want to share files with 
  6. Your recipients will receive a link to download the files
