How do I upload files?
The maximum size of a single file you can upload is 4.5 GB, provided you have enough space in your storage quota. This page describes how to:
Upload a single file

- Navigate to the appropriate file space by clicking the link in the Your file spaces table.
- Browse to the folder you wish to upload a file to.
-
Select Upload in the menu bar. The Upload window appears:

Upload multiple files

Upload a ZIP file
To upload entire folders of files, we recommend that you first make a ZIP file containing all the folders and files, then upload the ZIP file to Files.Warwick. The directory structure in the ZIP file is maintained when the contents are unpacked to your file space.

- Select the Upload button.
- Specify whether you wish to overwrite any duplicate files or not by selecting the checkbox.
- Specify if the ZIP file should be unpacked (i.e. all files extracted to the file space) or not by selecting the checkbox.
- Select the Upload button.
