What is the digital one-step uploader?

Share for free on these digital media pages:

Click the >Publish to share< button to upload nearly anything (except executable or archive files) in only one step!

The uploader pops up, requiring a Title and Author. Whatever file you upload is the same file your customer will download. Once the upload is complete, you receive a link to your content to distribute to your friends and neighbors or put up on your website.

Note: All content published through the one-page direct uploader carries a "direct access" rating.
