telegram-upload

###############

Telegram-upload uses your **personal Telegram account** to **upload** and **download** files up to **4 GiB** (2 GiB for

free users). Turn Telegram into your personal ☁ cloud!



To **install 🔧 telegram-upload**, run this command in your terminal:



.. code-block:: console



    $ sudo pip3 install -U telegram-upload



This is the preferred method to install telegram-upload, as it will always install the most recent stable release.

🐍 **Python 3.7-3.11** are tested and supported. There are other installation ways available like `Docker <#-docker>`_.

More info in the `📕 documentation `_

❓ Usage

========

To use this program you need an Telegram account and your **App api_id & api_hash** (get it in

`my.telegram.org `_). The first time you use telegram-upload it requests your

📱 **telephone**, **api_id** and **api_hash**. Bot tokens can not be used with this program (bot uploads are limited to

50MB).



To **send ⬆️ files** (by default it is uploaded to saved messages):



.. code-block:: console



    $ telegram-upload file1.mp4 file2.mkv



You can **download ⤵️ the files** again from your saved messages (by default) or from a channel. All files will be

downloaded until the last text message.



.. code-block:: console



    $ telegram-download



`Read the documentation `_ for more info about the

options availables.



Interactive mode

----------------

The **interactive option** (``--interactive``) allows you to choose the dialog and the files to download or upload with

a **terminal 🪄 wizard**. It even **supports mouse**!



.. code-block:: console



    $ telegram-upload --interactive    # Interactive upload

    $ telegram-download --interactive  # Interactive download



`More info in the documentation `_



Set group or chat

-----------------

By default when using telegram-upload without specifying the recipient or sender, telegram-upload will use your personal

chat. However you can define the 👨 destination. For file upload the argument is ``--to ``. For example:



.. code-block::



    $ telegram-upload --to telegram.me/joinchat/AAAAAEkk2WdoDrB4-Q8-gg video.mkv



You can download files from a specific chat using the --from  parameter. For example:



.. code-block::



    $ telegram-download --from username



You can see all `the possible values for the entity in the documentation `_.



Split & join files

------------------

If you try to upload a file that **exceeds the maximum supported** by Telegram by default, an error will occur. But you

can enable ✂ **split mode** to upload multiple files:



.. code-block:: console



    $ telegram-upload --large-files split large-video.mkv



Files split using split can be rejoined on download using:



.. code-block:: console



    $ telegram-download --split-files join



Find more help in `the telegram-upload documentation `_.



Delete on success

-----------------

The ``--delete-on-success`` option allows you to ❌ **delete the Telegram message** after downloading the file. This is

useful to send files to download to your saved messages and avoid downloading them again. You can use this option to

download files on your computer away from home.



Configuration

-------------

Credentials are saved in ``~/.config/telegram-upload.json`` and ``~/.config/telegram-upload.session``. You must make

sure that these files are secured. You can copy these 📁 files to authenticate ``telegram-upload`` on more machines, but

it is advisable to create a session file for each machine.



More options

------------

Telegram-upload has more options available, like customizing the files thumbnail, set a caption message (including

variables) or configuring a proxy.

`Read the documentation `_ for more info.

                 -it nekmo/telegram-upload:master

* ````: ``telegram-upload`` and ``telegram-download`` arguments.



For example::



    $ docker run -v /media/data/:/files/

                 -v $PWD/config:/config

                 -it nekmo/telegram-upload:master

                 upload file_to_upload.txt
