Getting Started
PicoShare is a minimalist service for sharing images and other files. Available as an open web service you can quickly get started. This guide describes how.
Prerequisites
- If you have not already done so, sign up for an Eyevinn OSC account.
Step 1: Store access key as a secret
First determine a secret access key and store it as a service secret. For instructions on how to work with secrets in Open Source Cloud read this guide. Store the password in a secret called mysharedsecret.
Step 2: Create a PicoShare instance
Now it is time to create your PicoShare instance. Navigate to its service page in OSC. Click on the button "Create picoshare" and enter the following parameters:
- Name:
guide - SharedSecret:
{{secrets.mysharedsecret}}
Step 3: Upload file and share link
When the instance is ready and running you can click on the instance card. Click on the button Log In and enter the access key you decided for in step 1.
Now drag the file you want to share and drop it in the window.
When the upload is completed you will be presented with a link that you can share with the one you want to be able to download the file.
