There are three requirements In order to send files in the StudioCDN application. You need to have at least one recipient added, at least one file attached, and have a message subject and body. When the requirements are met the Send button will turn from grey to green. When you are ready to send, click the send button. A loading circle will appear at the top of the application. When a green checkmark appears, as shown in the picture below, the package has been sent.
There are two different ways to change your content settings. The first way is to do it from the sending page. If you haven’t set up StudioCDN to display the content settings automatically (which will be shown later in this guide) click on the three dots next to the advance options icon as shown in the picture below.
From here you will be able to choose from which account you want to send from, watermark content, determine if recipients can download audio and video files, allow secure forwarding, protect links, and choose the expiration date .
The second way to change content settings is to do it from the settings page. Click on the gear symbol by the send button at the bottom of the page as shown in the picture below (depending on your computer’s OS it will either be in the left or right side).
The content settings options are located at the bottom of the page.
From here you can change the download and forwarding options, and can also choose whether to send project info and to show advanced options by default on the sending page.
When you send a package for the first time you will receive a Amazon SES Address Verification Request email from Amazon Web Services (AWS) asking you to authorize your email address for use with StudioCDN. Note: StudioCDN is hosted on AWS and this is a security feature to help protect you from spam and other attacks. Please click on the link given in the email to authorize your account and have full security benefits.
