[edit] mintUpload Desktop integration with community server

Selecting mintUpload from right clicking the file.

Default configuration of mintUpload for community server

"MintUpload is one of the new mint tools which will be introduced in Celena (Linux Mint 3.1). It allows the user to quickly upload files on the Internet and to send a link to them by email. By default, all users will get free access to a 1GB web storage space and they will be allowed to upload files smaller than 10MB. The 1GB of space will be shared between all users and files will stay on the server for 2 days " - Quoted from Linux Mint Blog

[edit] mintUpload integration with mintSpace account

Mint-Space customers will be able to add their mint-space account and use it in addition to the free service. This will give them an additional 1GB of space which will be reserved to them. They will be allowed to upload files smaller than 1GB and their files will stay on the server for 7 days." - Quoted from Linux Mint Blog
