Add documents to Files

Add Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents to the Files application.

This topic provides one way to add Microsoft Office documents to the Files application. We can also add documents from the File tab in Office applications by clicking Save & Send and then Send to IBM Connections.

1. Open the document.

2. Click the Connections tab.

3. Click Files.

4. If we connect to more than one site, select a site to upload the document to.

5. Type tags which we can use to find the document in Connections.

6. Choose to share the file with no one, or with specific people or communities, or with everyone.

7. Choose whether to allow other people who can see the document to share it with other people. This option is not available if you choose to share with everyone.

8. (IBM SmartCloud only) Choose whether the file can be shared with people outside of the organization. You are not able to disable this option if we are sharing with an external community.

9. (IBM SmartCloud only) Choose to encrypt the contents of the file.

10. Click Upload.
