Do you need to send a big file, bigger than email will allow, to someone on or off campus? Does someone want to send you one?
IT have set up a test service called “Dropbag”. It’s a secure way to lodge a file from on or off campus. As long as either the sender or receiver have a UC email address, it will work.
You can access it at https://dropbag.canterbury.ac.nz
There are a number of ways to use it:
- You can send a file to someone as long as you have their email address
- You can get a file from someone by creating a link and sending it to them
- Or someone can send you a file as long as they know your email address
This is a test, so the service might go away. If you do use it, I’d be really interested to hear what you think of it!

Thank you Anton. Sharing big files is an ongoing issue for us, so this is a big help. Used it just now to send a bunch of images to a customer. Seemed even easier than dropbox, fast upload and I got a notification saying when the customer had received them. Waiting to hear how it was from her end. Erin
