ZendTo
Share large files with internal or external collaborators
ZendTo is also the University’s recommended solution for transferring files that contain sensitive, personal, or confidential data securely between colleagues, inside or outside the University.
A ‘drop-off’ can comprise of one file or multiple files, but the maximum you can send in a single drop-off is 40GB.
- When using ZendTo to send files that contain sensitive, personal, or confidential data to colleagues outwith the University, it is mandatory to first encrypt the files using 7-Zip.
- If you are going to use ZendTo to send files that contain such data to University of Aberdeen colleagues, we strongly recommend you first encrypt the files using 7-Zip.
- See our dedicated user guide about encryption and dropping off files.
This web-based service is available to staff and students at https://zendto.abdn.ac.uk/. Login using your University credentials.
