File sharing

Send#Link to “Send”

Open Library → File sharing and stay in the Send tab, or right-click a playlist or folder → “Share with Sonodex”. An assistant guides you through sharing in four steps:

1. Select: under “What would you like to share?” one or more playlists (with search) or “Whole library”. At the top you see tracks, audio files and the estimated size.
2. Check files: tracks, size, what goes along with cues and beatgrid, and which tracks have no audio file.
3. Rights & expiry: “Send by code (Sonodex Cloud)” or “Save as folder (e.g. for USB or your own cloud)”, with a code also “Valid for” and “Who may open it?”. Confirm that you are allowed to share the files, then “Upload & create code” or “Choose folder & share”.
4. Copy code: pass on the share code. “Create another share” starts again from the beginning.

A share contains original files, metadata, cues, loops, beatgrids and the playlist order. Each file is verified with SHA-256.

By code#Link to “By code”

When sending by code, you choose “Valid for” (1 hour, 24 hours, 3 days or 7 days) and the recipients: up to a chosen number of accounts or “Only specific accounts” via their account codes. You need to be signed in for this.

Receive#Link to “Receive”

In the Receive tab you enter a “Share code” and click “Open”, or drag in a share folder or a culf.json (“Choose share file …” also works). Codes are only valid until they expire. In the “Import Sonodex share” dialogue you choose:

Import

“Full: audio, metadata and playlists”, “Audio files and metadata”, “Audio files only” or “Metadata only for tracks you already have”

Tracks you already have

“Merge: check differences”, “Skip existing tracks” or “Replace: take cues and grids from the share”

Existing tracks are never downloaded again. With “Report / block” you report an unwanted share.

My shares#Link to “My shares”

The My shares tab lists your shares with status, size, files, expiry and who has opened or fully downloaded them. You copy the code, revoke it and create a new one (“Revoke code & renew”), resume interrupted uploads or delete a share. At the top you see the share storage used and your account code (with “Show”), which others need for “Only specific accounts”.
