JayDrop – Requesting a File

JayDrop allows you to send and receive large files quickly and securely. You can create a unique, temporary link for each file you want to send, and then share the link via email. Creighton staff and faculty have access to JayDrop as a default service. You can log in to JayDrop to send a file via email within the JayDrop system or create a FileLink that can be copied and shared through any communication tool. You can also use the system to send an email request for a file or create a FileDrop link.

Many questions about JayDrop can be answered by clicking on the Help link in the upper right hand corner once you’ve logged in.
