Sharing Files

Send and receive files with your team members as long as they are online.

Note that the files are not synced between your devices if you use UniTel Voice on multiple devices.

Sending photos, videos, files

Send photos, videos and files to your XMPP contact who is online. To send multiple files at a time, all the files must be located in the same folder.

The recipient must accept the files for the transfer to start. If you send multiple files at a time, the recipient must accept or decline all of the files for the transfer to start.

To send photos, videos, or files

1. Create an new IM or open an IM conversation with the person you want to share the files with.

2. Tap Attach.

3. Tap either Photo or Video or File, depending on the type of file you want to send.

The file manager opens.

4. Locate the folder that contains the files that you want to send.

5. Tap the file you want to send. To select multiple files, repeat tapping on each file . Tap Done when you have selected all the files.

UniTel Voice sends a file transfer notification to the recipient. Until the recipient responds to the notifications, the sender sees Waiting as the file transfer status.

Once the recipient accepts the file, UniTel Voice shows the progress of the transfer and when the transfer is complete.

If the recipient declines the files, the transfer shows as Transfer Declined.

Receiving files

If you have an XMPP account enabled, another person with an XMPP account can send you files. The file transfer notification shows in the Messaging tab with UniTel Voice in the foreground, and in a notification if UniTel Voice is in the background.
