Send files to your phone

You can receive files without manually accepting each transfer, as long as the server remains running and the sender can reach it.

Prepare a destination

1. Choose a writable local data folder, for example a dedicated Inbox folder.
2. Start its server on Home and give the sender the address and, if needed, the WebDAV login.
3. Ask the sender to connect with a computer file manager or a WebDAV client that supports uploading.
4. The sender opens the destination folder and copies or uploads the files there.
5. Check the resulting files in Zwind’s Browser or in the original Files folder.

Use a real subfolder rather than the top-level list of data folders. Files provider permissions, available space, and storage rules can prevent writes. Begin with a small test file. Zwind’s browser-based directory listing is for browsing and downloading; it is not an upload form.

Know the destination

Uploading to local storage puts the file in that local folder. Uploading to a connected storage folder writes to that provider instead, when its adapter and permissions allow it. Virtual or projected media folders may be read-only. See Connected storage before receiving files into a remote folder.

Choose unique names to avoid accidental replacement. A client may overwrite a file with the same name; this is not a moderated submission inbox with per-sender accounts or approval queues.
