	*~~OPTIONAL: Description is useful if there are several files waiting~~ to ~~be delivered~~		**Title allows you to change the name of the file as shown in Fetch to you and the people you send the files to
	*OPTIONAL: Use Captcha will make it so the ~~recipient will have~~ to ~~read letters~~ and ~~numbers from a picture and enter them in order~~ to ~~retrieve the file~~		**Description allows you to add a description to the file, which will be shown to you and the people you send that file to
	**~~This may cause some inconvenience~~ to ~~your recipient, but is~~ a ~~security measure against hacking scripts and other exploits~~		**Expiration date allows you to set a date on which the file will be deleted (if wishing to use this feature, make sure to tick the File expires checkbox, otherwise the date you set will do nothing)
	*OPTIONAL: Send me an email - select this to ~~receive a copy of~~ the ~~mail sent~~ to the ~~recipient~~		**Allow public downloading of this file is to allow the file to be accessed by people who do not have an account on your Fetch. You likely want to tick this box, unless you are sending information between users at your company/non-profit/group of people

This is what you'd want to use if you were sending a large file within your company/non-profit/group of people. You can also use assignations to allow access to an entire group of users, if so desired
	*Email Subject: the ~~subject for~~ the ~~email notification the recipient~~ will ~~get~~		***If you're allowing public downloading there's no real benefit to assigning it to a user, you can leave this blank
	*~~Email Message: the body~~ of ~~the email notification the recipient will get~~		**Categories allows you to categorize your file into categories made by the administrator of your Fetch instance
	*OPTIONAL: Password protect will require the user to enter a password to ~~download~~ the file
	**This provides an ~~additional layer of security~~ to ~~Use Captcha~~, ~~but instead~~ of ~~keeping out scripts and programs, it keeps out humans~~
	*~~OPTIONAL: Send password in e-mail will send the password~~ you ~~set in~~ the ~~notification email~~.
	**This ~~may not be appropriate, for example when~~ sending to an ~~email address that more than one person may be checking~~
	**If you ~~wish~~ to ~~set~~ a ~~password~~, ~~but not send it in the email, then set the password and phone the recipient to tell him what it is~~
