To upload files:
NOTE: Mac Users may need to archive or
compress files first for some APPLE written
applications, such as KeyNote. A KeyNote file
looks like one individual file, but is actually multiple
underlying files.

To upload individual files:
- Click Browse to locate the file
- Click Add File to add additional files.
- Click Start Upload to move the file to your
storage area.
|
|
|
To easily upload folders and multiple files:
- Click on Advanced Upload. (Be sure you have
Java 1.5 or higher or download it from the link).
- Click Add Files and the selection dialog box
appears (see below).
- Navigate to the folder or file you want to copy.
- Select the folder or file.
- Click Open.
- The files will appear in the Upload window.
- Click Start Upload.
OR
- Open Windows Explorer
- Navigate to the files or folders you wish to
upload.
- Drag them to the Upload Window.
- Click Start Upload.
|
|

|
- Double click on a file to Open or Save it.
Macintosh users:
Some APPLE written applications, such as
KeyNote, actually consist of multiple underlying files.
In order to successfully upload such files, right-click
on the file(s) and select "Make archive" or "Compress"
depending on the version of Mac OS you are running.
Then upload the compressed version of the file.
