Registration
Send the email with the files to be uploaded to: upload@pixum.com
The subject line of your e-mail HAS to contain the following:
[Pixum username]:(colon!)[4-digit PIN-code ]
Example: John:1234
Please note not to insert any spaces between your username, the colon, and your PIN code. Any deviation/change in the subject line (e.g. due to a virus scanner) will lead to a non-functioning upload.
By the way: If you are sending this email from the email address registered at Pixum, then you do not need to mention the username in the subject and you only have to mention the PIN. If username, PIN-number or colon are wrong, the email will be deleted automatically. You will then receive an email about this error.
