Uploading

Upload a single file, the stream url is copied to your clipboard immediately for sharing, even before the upload has completed.

$ up reflection.png

 reflection.png : 92%
         stream : https://cloudup.com/cHFtYYeB8fJ

Multiple Files

Upload several files at once by passing multiple filenames:

$ up simon-*.png

              simon-1.png : https://cloudup.com/iqd4NLa13ZV
              simon-2.png : https://cloudup.com/iCxBKJZAm36

Thumbnails

up(1) delivers thumbnails when possible before the files are uploaded, so viewers can see what they're getting before-hand, and progress is updated in real-time.

Upload Options

You may optionally provide a stream --title upon upload, otherwise Cloudup will generate one for you based on the content:

$ up ferrets/*.png --title Ferrets

You may also upload to an existing stream by passing --stream:

$ up simon.png --stream c7WwhIwSl6Y

If you prefer direct links you may use --direct:

$ up example.jpeg --direct

  example.jpeg : http://i.cloudup.com/uBuZVUk80lK/SXSc1V.jpeg
        stream : https://cloudup.com/c1rAycLAdHo
