Using WeTransfer to upload files and create a link for SBMM is very straightforward.<\/span><\/h6>

Its free to use for files up to 2Gb per upload, which should be more than enough for most videos together with the three images.\u00a0 It does not require any registration but it does require your email address for validation.<\/p>

This 6-step guide shows how to extend the transfer expiry to 7 days, and create a link to your video file and images ready for the SBMM online application. Use the link in ‘Step 1.<\/span>‘ to open wetransfer.com directly by using your computer browser.<\/p>

Please include all your images together with the video file in your WeTransfer upload.<\/p>

Note: WeTransfer seem to frequently change their user interface. It might be slightly different to the ones shown below, but the principle remains the same.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

STEP 1.<\/span><\/p>

Open WeTransfer in your computer browser:<\/p>

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

STEP 2.<\/span><\/p>

Upload your video file(s) by dragging and dropping onto the screen. Add more files by repeating the drag and drop or clicking the ‘+’ ‘Add more files’.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

STEP 3.<\/span><\/p>

When you have uploaded all your files (or folders),\u00a0 press the three dots above the right of the ‘Get a Link’ button to open a side panel.<\/p>

Click ‘Expires in\u00a0 \u00a03 days’\"\"<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

STEP 5.<\/span><\/p>

WeTransfer will start uploading, and this will appear…<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

STEP 6.<\/span><\/p>

After your files are uploaded, click ‘Copy link’. Add this link into your SBMM online form.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

PLEASE NOTE:\u00a0 WeTransfer now ask for an email address at STEP 4.<\/span><\/p>

This email address is used to send a validation code, which must be entered before the link will be created. They assure that the email is only used to avoid WeTransfer being abused and that the details are not used for any other purpose.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
