ProjectSend for Schools and Universities

The Problem: File Distribution at Scale

Schools and universities need to share files with hundreds of students — syllabi, lecture slides, reading materials, assignment templates. Commercial LMS platforms are expensive and complex. Email attachments hit size limits and create chaos.

How Educational Institutions Use ProjectSend

Course-Based File Distribution

Create a group for each course section. Add enrolled students. Upload lecture notes, slides, and readings. Every student in the group gets access instantly — and email notifications when new materials are posted.

Assignment Collection

Students can upload their assignments through their portal. Each submission is timestamped, creating an automatic record of on-time delivery. No more "I sent it but you must not have received it."

Department File Sharing

Share administrative documents among faculty — meeting minutes, policy updates, budget reports. Control access by department or committee using groups.

Research Collaboration

Research teams can share datasets, papers, and lab results with internal and external collaborators. Set expiration dates on sensitive pre-publication data.

Zero Per-Student Cost

Commercial LMS platforms charge per student per year. ProjectSend is free for unlimited users. For a small department or program that just needs file sharing, it's the obvious choice.

Deployment Options

• On-campus server: Maximum control, IT department manages it
• Cloud VPS: $5–10/month for a server that handles hundreds of students
• Shared hosting: The simplest option for small programs or departments

"We needed file sharing for 300 students across 12 courses. The commercial options quoted us $5,000/year. ProjectSend runs on a $10/month server and does exactly what we need."
