Sharing Links
Sharing is caring. Most of the time anyway.
When using Tuzulo, nearly everything can be shared – we provide social bookmark integration where appropriate. However, there are other places within Tuzulo which can be bookmarked but shouldn't be shared with others.
Different Kinds of Bookmarks
Generally there are two ways to bookmark something: socially using an internet bookmark service such as Digg or privately inside your browser. You can also drag locations to your desktop on Macintosh OS X. The idea behind social bookmarking is sharing information that's interesting to you in the hopes that it's interesting to others. That's a wonderful way to share your photos and files but not a good way to retain information which you wish to be kept private.
Post Upload
After you upload files on Tuzulo you're taken to a landing or management page which summarizes your upload package. This URL always looks like:
Publishing codes are generated from this page – these codes are used for linking and embedding on other sites. Since you can manage your package, including the ability to delete individual files/images the page can be bookmarked or otherwise saved but shouldn't be shared in any way, including email, especially if your upload was done anonymously. The reasons why should be obvious.
If you share an page that was created using your account then users will get a 403 Forbidden message when attempting to access your URL. In fact, you will also get a 403 error if you're not logged in.
You're always protected if you have an account. Just remember to keep your page URLs to yourself.
Upload History
If you have an account Tuzulo remembers your upload history, freeing you from ever having to remember URLs for management or accessing your media.
If you don't have an account there are two options:
- Create an account (if you do this within one hour of the anonymous upload you can reclaim it as yours).
- Bookmark or otherwise remember (drag to the desktop) your pages.
If you have lost a private key to an page, you can try to use the anonymous upload reclaimer which requires you to have an account. Otherwise, regretfully, you are toast and must re-upload the media. This is a byproduct of having a freely available anonymous interface.
