How to Steps
Using FileDrop with JayDrop
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.
Using FileDrop with JayDrop
This option allows you to create a Filedrop URL through which anyone with the URL can upload files. This is a good option if you need to collect files regularly, as you do not need to create a unique File Request each time:
1. Go to JayDrop.creighton.edu and log in with your BLUE credentials.
2. Click the Gear icon in the upper right corner of the window and select Account Settings.
3. Click the Personal Filedrop tab.
4. You will have a random Filedrop link available for you to use.
Note: This Filedrop URL can be reset, once reset the previous URL will be broken and unusable.
5. Copy the URL and send it via email/IM to the user(s) you will receive files from.
6. Once they have uploaded the file you will receive an email with their message and a link to the file they uploaded.
7. Click the link and log into JayDrop with your BLUE credentials.
8. Click the Attached files link to download the file.
