File Request Email Template:
Hello,
ALA is requesting you to transmit your files through a secure medium by using this link: https://tigertools.sharefile.com/x-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Please note:
- You will be prompted for your email, name, and company. This information is exclusively used to track who has sent files.
- After you have selected files to transmit by dragging and dropping or by browsing and selecting them you will need to click on the upload button in the lower left-hand corner of your screen.
- Note you can send many files at one time
- Wait until the file has finished uploading before closing the browser. You can close the browser when the files have the ‘Uploaded’ status next to their names.
- After uploading the files please respond to this email with the filenames you uploaded to let us know that you have sent them
Links to share for receiving files:
Please note that if you share the incorrect link the files will be sent to that corresponding folder. These links do not give access to view the files in the folders, in this way they function identically to a fax number.
