Upload Files to GCD Staff

Use this function only if concerned about email security OR need to send files that are too large to email. Documents with full Social Security Numbers or Account Numbers require security. Do NOT upload AND email the same documents.

FAQs:

What should be done to my files before uploading?
Remove any passwords; try scanning in black & white instead of color; keep all files separate by not combining; do NOT zip multiple files into one.

Does GCD prefer I upload documents or email them?
GCD has no preference but uploading is secure and has no limits to the amount of files or their sizes. Emails are not secure and have size and quantity limits.

Do I need to upload more than one time when sending documents?
No. All files can be uploaded at one time either by selecting all the files that are in a single folder OR you can drag the files to this site. Note: you CANNOT drag an entire folder though. This will give you an error message.

Who do I choose as the recipient for tax or investment documents?
