How-To

Send files directly from context menu on Windows

Registering to open files with MoreLoad

The File Handling API is implemented

This is still experimental and must be enabled via a flag before the PWA is installed to Windows.

1. Enabled feature in Edge

2. Install MoreLoad by visiting https://moreload.com/ with the Edge browser and install it as described here.

3. You are done! You can now send most files one at a time via MoreLoad:

   context menu > Open with > MoreLoad

Sending multiple files to MoreLoad

Outstandingly, it is also possible to send multiple files to MoreLoad via the context menu by adding MoreLoad to the Send to menu:

1. Register MoreLoad as file handler

2. Hit Windows Key+R, type: shell:programs and hit Enter.

3. Copy the MoreLoad shortcut from the directory

4. Hit Windows Key+R, type: shell:sendto and hit Enter.

5. Paste the copied shortcut into the directory

6. You are done! You can now send multiple files (but no directories) directly via MoreLoad:

   context menu > Send to > MoreLoad

Send directly from share menu on iOS

I created an iOS shortcut to send images, files, folder, URLs or text directly from the share-menu https://routinehub.co/shortcut/13990/

Send directly from share menu on Android

The Web Share Target API is implemented.

When the PWA is installed, it will register itself to the share-menu of the device automatically.

Send directly via command-line interface

Send files or text with MoreLoad via command-line interface.

This opens MoreLoad in the default browser where you can choose the receiver.
