# Get an edited file back in Storage

To let someone send back an updated file, open **Storage**, right-click the file and choose **Send link**, then **Send link (allow edit / upload modified)**. Send the mail that opens. The recipient downloads the file, edits it and clicks **Upload** in your mail to put the new version in your Storage folder. The upload uses your space.

## How to get an edited file back in Storage

1. Open **Storage** and right-click the file.
2. Choose **Send link**, then **Send link (allow edit / upload modified)**.
3. Add recipients in the mail that opens and click **Send**.
4. The recipient downloads and edits the file, then clicks **Upload** in the mail and attaches the updated file.

## When to use it

> The finance controller at acme.in sends the monthly MIS template to five branch heads with an upload link. Each fills it in and uploads it back into her Storage, with no chain of reply-all attachments.

## Good to know

- The updated file goes into your Storage folder and counts towards your space.
- The recipient does not need an XgenPlus login to upload the updated file.
- To work on the same Word, Excel or PowerPoint file together instead, share it for collaboration.

## Common questions

**What if my Storage is full?**

The recipient cannot upload and is told that your account is full. Free up space and ask them to try again.
