About inboxes
Use Inboxes to control how and where you receive files before adding them to your DISCO.
Each Inbox has an upload page URL that can be shared with DISCO users and non-users alike to easily and instantly send content to your DISCO.
Each DISCO is a creative workspace within an ecosystem designed for searching, curating, sending, and receiving all kinds of media files.
Inboxes play a critical role in the ecosystem. They eliminate most of the historical file transfer pain-points associated with music industry pitching and receiving. This includes issues like uploading, downloading, and unzipping files, making the process much more streamlined and convenient for everyone involved.
Accessing Inboxes
In the left sidebar of DISCO you'll find two inboxes:
- Team Inboxes are available for all members of your DISCO Team to access.
- Personal Inboxes are connected to your personal login email, and cannot be viewed by other members on your Team.
Once a playlist becomes available in your DISCO Inbox, you will receive email confirmation along with an in-app notification.
Copy and Share the Inbox URL
Each Inbox has a unique upload page URL that can be shared with anyone sending files to you.
- Open the specific Inbox where you want to receive the files.
- Copy the Inbox URL.
- Email or text it to collaborators.
- You will receive an email and an in-app notification when the playlist is available in your DISCO Inbox.
Send Files Through an Inbox URL
These are directions for anyone who has been asked to deliver files through a DISCO Inbox upload page.
If you DO NOT have DISCO:
- Simply drag files into the upload area or click to select files on your computer.
- Fill out the form.
- Click Send Files at the bottom of the page.
- Each time you click Send, a new playlist is generated in the recipient’s DISCO Inbox.
If you DO have DISCO:

- Copy the share URL.
- Open the upload page URL you receive.
- Select Send your own Playlist in the top right corner and paste the Playlist share URL.

Saving Files from DISCO Playlists
Save To DISCO buttons are featured alongside the download options on every DISCO playlist (assuming it is not Streaming-Only).
- Clicking Save to DISCO will add the playlist, tracks, or sections into your personal Inbox.

Save to DISCO makes life simpler for everyone working in the DISCO ecosystem by eliminating downloading and uploading from their day-to-day tasks.
