In continuation of our series on using Sta.sh, we'd like to let you know of yet another way you can utilize your Sta.sh -- by uploading via email and FTP.

:star:  Why, you ask?

There are several uses for this feature.  Say you're walking down the street, and you see something that catches your eye.  Perhaps there's an impromptu dance party, or the sun is setting over the mountains.  You only have your phone on you, and you snap a photo.  It looks amazing, but that photo is forever doomed to reside in your phone.  Now, you can email that picture to your Sta.sh and have it ready for you when you're home.  Sta.sh also gives you a place to store that photo so you can share the link with friends.

Or, say you're at school or work you've been collaborating with a friend on your latest masterpiece.  You may not be able to log in to your deviantART account, or don't want to get caught browsing, so you stealthily send your masterpiece in an email.  Bam!  It's available for you next time you log into Sta.sh.

Do you create or edit works from your iPad or other Wi-Fi enabled device?  Sta.sh is here to save the day.  Send your image in an email to Sta.sh and you're one step closer to publishing!

:star:  How do I upload via email?

:bulletblue: Go to your settings, under the Apps and Uploads section.
:bulletblue:  Enable the option to "Let me upload using email".  This will give you an email that looks something like ayame-kenoshi+92962@sta.sh
:bulletblue:  Write an email to the address you have been given. The subject of the email will be the title of your image, and the body of the email will become the description.
:bulletblue:  Lastly, attach the image you want to upload and send away! Your image will now appear in your Sta.sh.
:bulletblue:  You can customize your Sta.sh email in your settings!

:star:  How do I upload via FTP?

:bulletblue:  Enable the "Let me upload using FTP" option in your settings.
:bulletblue:  Use your favourite FTP client to go to ftp.sta.sh.
:bulletblue:  Log in with your normal deviantART username and password.
:bulletblue:  Upload your images using your FTP client, and they'll be in your Sta.sh!

:star:  A word of advice!

Don't forget: don't give away your Sta.sh email address, or others will be able to send items to your Sta.sh you didn't ask for! If this happens, you can always generate a new random email or create your own in your settings page.

:star:  One last thing to keep in mind!

Remember that you can always use Sta.sh instead of the current submit process.  Sta.sh is easier, faster, cleaner, and generally more fun.



Happy Sta.shin'!  :la:
