# Modules

Besides the menu item types, Filedrop ships two site modules. They are installed together with the package but, like every Joomla module, they are not published automatically: go to **Content > Site Modules**, open the module, assign it to a position and to the pages you want, and publish it.

 
## Filedrop - Upload Form

 Shows the same upload form as the component's upload page, in any module position: the drag-and-drop box, the form fields you enabled, the captcha if configured, and the guest password gate if you use one.

- The module has no settings of its own. Everything - fields, limits, captcha, storage - follows the component options under **Components > Filedrop > Options**.
- Only one upload form can appear per page. Don't assign this module to the page that already shows the component's upload page (or place two instances on one page); the second form won't work.
- The module is never cached, by design: the form carries a per-user security token.

 This module is useful when the upload form should appear somewhere a menu item can't put it: a sidebar, a footer, or embedded on an existing content page.

 
## Filedrop - My Transfers

 Shows the logged-in user's transfer list - the same list as the "My transfers" page: transfers sent from and to their account's e-mail address, each with a Download button that's disabled once the transfer has expired or reached its download limit. Guests see nothing at all.

 Settings:

 
- **Number of transfers** (default 5) - maximum number of rows, 0 shows all
- **Show type column** (default yes) - the Sent/Received badge
- **Show expiry column** (default yes)
- **Show downloads column** (default yes) - the download count, and limit when set
- **Show status column** (default yes) - Active / Expired / Download limit reached
- **Show delete button** (default no) - offers deleting the user's own sent transfers, like the My transfers page

 The files column and the Download button always show. For a compact sidebar block, switch the extra columns off and keep just the files and the button.
