Changes to .zip file submissions that will affect you
I know some of you might already be aware of the changes that have happened if you have sent in help desk tickets about it, however for those of you who aren't yet aware; there has been a statement issued here -
Effectively, password protected zip files are no longer accepted on the site.
Whilst it is a huge disappointment that password protected zip files are no longer accepted, I would rather this be the case than to allow a potential access area for somebody to try and infect your computer by submitting what might look like a genuine stock pack or .exe file, and despite this being an inconvenience and what feels like a step back, I'm sure you would all agree.
There are alternatives for submitting/sharing exclusive stock packs etc, including using your sta.sh for normal zip files as sta.sh is a private area, accessed only when you give out the sta.sh link of submitted - but unpublished work.
There are also various drop-boxes and hosting sites which might be worth investigating if you don't want to use sta.sh or your own hosting.
Just to be clear, NORMAL .ZIP files are unaffected. This is ONLY a change affecting password protected zip files.
If you have any concerns or queries at all about this please contact the helpdesk directly!
STAY RESOURCEFUL!
