# Files

As soon as you set up ProjectSend you can start uploading files (`Files -> Upload`) without the need to have any clients, groups or other users.

### Uploading

ProjectSend uses **plupload**, which handles the uploads in chunks to make sure that even very large files are fully uploaded without the need to set the memory\_limit too high, among other sensitive php settings. This also ensures that large files can be uploaded in almost any server, even those in shared hosting accounts.

Once a file is uploaded an editor will let you specify a title, description, expiry date (optional), categories, and assignations to both clients and groups.

Downloads are tracked so you will always know who downloaded the file and when.
