Create a delivery
This guide shows how a file delivery is created in accsyn and sent to a recipient. We will both cover how to send deliveries based on temporary files uploaded just for that delivery, and how to delivery files/title media from accsyn cloud storage or BYOS storage.
Prerequisites:
An active accsyn workspace trial or subscription.
A web browser, preferably Google Chrome.
Create a standard delivery
A standard accsyn delivery is one or more files and/or folders uploaded to a temporary place on your accsyn cloud storage, for delivery to one more recipients.
Note: See below for guides on delivering from files already residing on the cloud storage or delivering media from a title.
Logon to accsyn web app [https://accsyn.io].
Go to Outbound section beneath the workspace menu button on the left hand side.
Click NEW DELIVERY.

4. First we upload the files and folders to the delivery.
The recommended way is to install and use the accsyn desktop app for transferring files, it is way much stable and faster than attempting to use the browser. If it is small single files on the other hand, browser transfer will be sufficient.
Click DROP FILES OR PRESS HERE TO ADD CONTENT.
Choose USE ACCSYN FOR MAC, it will check if the accsyn app is running. If you have it installed, click I HAVE THE ACCSYN APP INSTALLED, otherwise click INSTALL THE ACCSYN DESKTOP APP.
Download the installer and run it, accsyn will launch after installation has completed and then pickup the upload prompting you which files to upload.
If you seek to use the browser, instead choose PROCEED WITH BROWSER and then upload the files one by one - note that web browsers does not support folder upload, then you will have to switch to app.
5. When all files has been added, enter the email address of the user that should download the delivery. Multiple users can be added here and users that have been sent to earlier are remembered and selectable from a list.
6. Set the Expiry date, by default it is set to a month/30 days.
Public delivery
By default, only the recipients can download the delivery when logged in with the same email. If you want anyone with the link to be able to download the delivery, check Allow anyone with a link to download this delivery. To protect the download further, you can add a password by filling out the Secret field.
Send delivery
When ready, click SEND DELIVERY to have download link created and emails sent to recipients.
Note: you can leave the delivery for completion later, deliveries will stay there for 8h before they expire and you will have to start over.
Create an upload request
An upload request is a reversed delivery - requesting users to upload files to a folder for download when everyone has actioned the upload.
Logon to accsyn web app [https://accsyn.io].
Go to Requested section beneath the workspace menu button on the left hand side.
Click NEW REQUEST.
Enter the email address of the user that should upload to the request. Multiple users can be added here and users that have been sent to earlier are remembered and selectable from a list.
Set the Expiry date, by default it is set to a month/30 days.
As with a delivery, click Allow anyone with a link to download this delivery to allow any user having the link to upload to the folder.
When you are all set, click SEND REQUEST to have a temporary folder created on the accsyn Cloud storage, for files as they arrive, and emails dispatched to recipients with upload instructions.
Deliver from Cloud or BYOS storage
Deliveries can also be made from the accsyn Cloud storage if you are using it as permanent storage, this section also applies to BYOS deliveries from volumes/shared folders.
Download and install the accsyn Desktop app, login to your workspace (with a user having the admin or employee role)
Open the STORAGE tab.
Browse to the files/folders that you want to deliver.
Select the files/folders and either click the Share button in menu and choose Deliver, or right click and do Share>Deliver.

5. The new delivery will be spawned and you will be redirected to your web browser to finish up the deliver (see above).
Request upload to Cloud storage
In the same way, upload requests can be created with the desktop app, to have users upload to a permanent folder on your accsyn Cloud or BYOS storage.
Download and install the accsyn Desktop app, login to your workspace (with a user having the admin or employee role)
Open the STORAGE tab.
Browse to the folder you want to have users upload to, create new folders by clicking the create folder menu button or right click and choose Create new folder.
Click the Share button in menu and choose Request upload here, or right click and do Share>Request upload here.
The new upload request will be spawned and you will be redirected to your web browser to finish it up (see above).
