How do I add my own files?

To add files you upload them from your computer.

Your administrator determines who can upload files, so you might not be able to do this.

Your administrator limits the amount of space that you have for storing files. When you reach that limit you cannot add anything new to Files. Stored files include all versions of uploaded files. To check the amount of space used, click the i icon in the upper right. You can delete old versions of your files to create space.

You can upload any type of file. Most commonly used file types display in Files with a unique icon, but not all. Follow these steps to upload files:

  1. Click Upload a File.

  2. Type the file path or browse for the file.

  3. Type a file name, if browsing did not add one.

  4. Optional: Type tags, separated by a space.

  5. Select any of the following choices:

    Option Description

    No one (private)

    Make the file private. Only the owner can see and edit it.

    People (give specific file permissions to others)

    Share the file with specific people. Perform these steps:

    1. Select an access level:

      • Readers can read, comment on, download, and recommend a file. They can add a file to a collection of theirs, be notified of changes to the file, and share the file with other people.

      • Editors can read, edit, comment on, download, recommend, upload a new version, and set properties on the file. They can also add a file to a collection of theirs, be notified of changes to the file, share it with other people, and delete versions of it.

    2. Type a name or e-mail address and select the person you want to share the file with. If the name does not display, click Search the to search for them. Click the people icon icon to select people you have recently shared files with.
