How do I setup my FTP client?
ATTENTION
You can only use the FTP connection to your picdrop account if your picdrop account was registered before June 2022.
For accounts registered after June 2022, please use the upload directly in your browser.

Your FTP login data can be found in your account settings.
Setting up your FTP accounts isn’t rocket science and in most cases the same procedure. There are differences in the applications though. We compiled a list of the most common FTP clients and provide you with a step by step guide on how to set them up.
One more thing before you start: if your FTP program has problems uploading using Windows, please disable the option to run uploads in .filepart format. (Applies mainly to WinSCP/Putty)
