# Three ways to add links and files in Seedr V2 Canonical URL: https://www.seedr.cc/pulse/articles/69a9938c330e298f5763caf5-how-to-add-links-and-files-seedr-v2/ Updated: 2026-04-29T11:44:13.518Z Paste a link, scan a webpage, upload from your device, or share from your phone via the Seedr V2 PWA. Step-by-step walkthrough. Seedr V2 rebuilds the add-to-cloud flow around one button and one paste. You can add a link, scan a webpage for downloads, upload a local file, or share straight from your phone — all without switching tabs. ## Why we changed the add-flow In V1, adding content meant picking the right input: link field, upload area, or fetch-from-link. Users often pasted into the wrong one and got an error. On mobile, sharing a link meant copy, switch tabs, log in, paste. V2 collapses that into a single entry point that figures out what you gave it. A file link, a webpage, or a local file — the same button handles all of it. ![Adding link manually to Seedr V2]() Press a big icon at the bottom of the page. ## What's new One button, four inputs: - **Direct file link** — pasted text goes straight to the queue. - **Webpage link** — Seedr scans the page and shows a popup with every downloadable file it finds. - **Local file** — opens a picker; Seedr handles the transfer. - **Shared-from-system** — if Seedr is installed as a PWA, it appears in your OS share menu. Before V2, each of these lived in a different place. The link field was separate from the upload area, and link-scanning lived behind a "Fetch from link" action. Now they all start from the same **Link** icon. ## How to use it today ### Paste a link manually 1. Open the Seedr V2 dashboard. 2. Tap the **Link** icon at the bottom centre of the screen. 3. Paste your link into the field. If it's a direct file link, you get a confirmation toast and the task starts. If it's a regular webpage, Seedr scans for downloadable URLs and shows them in a popup — pick the files you want and they queue up. ![Upload file or paste link in Seedr v2]() ### Upload from your device 1. Tap the **Link** icon. 2. Choose **Upload from device** in the menu. 3. Pick a file from your phone or computer. Keep the page open while the transfer runs. A refresh usually clears any stall. ### Share to Seedr via PWA Install first: 1. Open the in-app menu (top-left on mobile, top-right on desktop). 2. Select **Install App**. After install, Seedr appears in your system share sheet. - **Mobile:** long-press any link, tap **Share**, pick **Seedr**. The task queues in the background. - **Desktop:** click a link. Your browser asks which app to open it in — choose Seedr and tick **Always allow** if you want to skip the prompt next time.

Install the **Seedr** extension from your browser's store. 2. Right-click any link on a webpage. 3. Pick **Add to Seedr** from the menu. The page stays open; the save runs in your Seedr account. ## Roadmap The V2 add-flow is live for alpha and premium users. A few pieces are still rolling out: - A first-run tutorial that walks new users through the four inputs. - Better feedback when webpage scans find nothing usable. - Deeper handoff from the PWA share sheet to folder selection. We're tracking feedback on the V2 waitlist channel. If the share-menu integration doesn't appear after installing, reinstall the PWA and make sure you granted notification permission — that step registers Seedr as a share target. ## Wrap One button, four ways to add: paste, scan, upload, share. That's the V2 flow. Want priority access? Premium members skip the V2 waitlist. ### Ready to try the new Seedr V2 add-flow? ![PWA in the Seedr V2 account menu.]() PWA in the Seedr V2 account menu.
