I have been using telegram-upload, since 2019. Recently, I decided to create my own package similar to telegram-upload, and hence UploadGram was born!

The major differences, with telegram-upload, as of this writing, are:

✔ UploadGram only allows uploading, and does not support downloading.

✔ UploadGram uses PyroGram to interact with Telegram APIs, which is believed to be faster than Telethon.

✔ UploadGram supports login as both User and Bot, while telegram-upload supports only User mode because it has a lot of features.

How to Install and Use, in your PC?

Termux on Android, might be supported, but I haven't tested.

• Install any version of Python > 3.6.

• Verify the installation by typing python --version in your Terminal.

• Create a virtual environment, to isolate the installation environment. Read More in a previous blog post

  python -m venv venv

• Activate the virtual environment.

  venv\Scripts\activate for MicrosoftWindows users

  ./venv/bin/activate for GNU/Linux users

• Install uploadgram.

  pip install uploadgram

• Get the required informations, from Telegram.

  • Get your Telegram API keys, from my.telegram.org.
  • Create a bot using BotFather, and get the API token.
  • Add the bot as administrator in a channel.
  • Send a message in the channel, and click on Copy Link.
  • The link will look like https://t.me/c/12345/2.
  • Here, -10012345 is your chat_id.

• Enter your Telegram API keys, and Login as user (or a bot)

  • uploadgram -10012345 your_file_or_directory_name

• Check the Telegram Chat, to get the uploaded file.
