Data Transfer Guidelines

Option 1: Transfer Document through a Paperbox Inbox​

Option 2: When not having access to a Paperbox Inbox (<50GB)​

When you don't have access yet to a custom Paperbox Inbox, then the application of wormhole.app can be used. wormhole.app is an open source tool that lets you share files with end-to-end encryption by using a personal link. The following instructions can be followed:

  • Browse to wormhole.app (Secured version of WeTransfer)
  • Select all files that you want to transfer to Paperbox. Make use of a good structure when uploading your files. Set the desired retention periods (best practice is 24 hours or limit to 1 download).
  • Share the personal link via email to a @paperbox.ai email address

Option 3: For a programmatic or high volume (>50GB) data transfers​

This last option can be used to transfer a large amount of files at once. By using the gsutil tool, you can access the Google Cloud Storage (GCS) from the command line. Paperbox itself will handle the data after it has been uploaded to a specific GCS bucket/folder, which will be shared in advance. The following instructions can be followed:
