For files that you want to download or share, you can assign individual download profiles and temporarily change the file name.

Add files to the shopping cart either by drag & drop or via the toolbox actionshopping cart plus "Add to shopping cart".

From here, you can download files to your computer or share them as an eTicket or download package.

Filter & download options

To the left of the main view is the filter area, where you can search the files in your shopping cart or use additional options to prepare your download.

Filter

Search shopping cart

Here you can search for file names or temporarily renamed files. Original file names of renamed files are also taken into account.

Filter by download profiles

Here you can filter the files in your shopping cart based on their currently assigned download profiles (e.g., to show only web or print files).

Download options

ZIP download name

In the "ZIP download name" field, enter a custom name for the .zip file that will be downloaded to your computer.

A .zip file is automatically created when two or more files are downloaded.

Assign download profiles

In the "Assign download profiles" area, you can assign download profiles to multiple selected files.

Some download profiles are only available for certain file types. If you have different file types in your selection, the system will only offer you download profiles that are applicable to all selected files.

Example:
If you have selected image files and InDesign documents, the "Web" or "Package with linked files" profiles will not be offered, as they cannot be applied to all files.

​If you move the mouse over a profile, a tooltip will show you up to ten file names that have already been assigned to this profile:
