Pin your first File to IPFS

Learn how to pin your first file to IPFS using RPFS.

Start by opening the app page and Connecting with your Radix Wallet to create a RPFS account.

After connecting your wallet you will be prompted to share a Radix Persona and an Account where the user badge will be sent to. Once that's done click the ""Confirm and Generate Badge button.

Wait few seconds for the Badge to be minted and sent to your Account. Once Done you will be automatically redirected to your Dashboard.

Your Dashboard Shows how much Storage your pinned files are taking, Bandwidth and Total of files Pinned.

Next go to the "Folders & Files" page in the side-menu and click on the "Add File" in the Global Files section.

Once you've selected a file from your computer, the uploading process starts and then the file should show up in the Global Files list. To see the file click on its name, or on one of the two purple buttons RPFS or IPFS. (see here what's the difference) That's it! Now you can copy the link to file and use it for whatever you need.
