Receive a File

How to receive a file on your phone or ipad

Sometimes you need someone to send you a file — maybe a client's logo, a friend's photos, or a document from a coworker. Instead of juggling email attachments or messaging apps, just share your Inbox link. Anyone can upload files to it, no account required.

How the Inbox Works

Your Smmall Cloud account has a personal Inbox with its own unique URL. When someone visits that URL, they get a simple upload page where they can drop files for you. Those files then appear in your Inbox tab.

Think of it like a digital dropbox (lowercase d) — people put files in, you take them out.

Finding Your Inbox Link

1. Open the Inbox tab from the sidebar

2. Tap the @ icon in the toolbar

3. Your Inbox URL appears in a sheet — tap Copy to grab it

Your Inbox URL looks something like this:

yourname.smmall.cloud/inbox/abc123

The code at the end is unique to your account and keeps your inbox private to only people you share the link with.

Sharing Your Inbox Link

Once copied, you can paste your Inbox URL anywhere:

• Drop it in a text message or email

• Add it to a form or website

• Include it in your Smmall Cloud profile links (see Customize Your Profile)

• Print it as a QR code for in-person use

Checking Your Inbox

Files people send you show up in the Inbox tab. Open the sidebar and tap Inbox to see everything that's arrived.

Each file shows:

• The file name and type

• A thumbnail preview (for images and videos)

• When it was received

Tap any file to open it in the viewer, just like your own files.

When someone sends you a file you will also be notified by the email associated with your Smmall Cloud account.

What You Can Do with Inbox Files

Inbox files support the same actions as your regular files:

• View — Tap to open in the full-screen viewer

• Copy Link — Swipe right to grab the share link

• Share — Swipe left to open the share sheet

• Edit — Change the file name or add a description

• Move to Folder — Organize received files into your folders

• Delete — Remove files you no longer need
