Upload Files
Two ways in, one destination rule, and a progress panel that does not lose your place.
Files go into a folder, never into nothing. That is the only rule the upload flow really enforces, and it is why dropping files while you are looking at All Files asks you where to put them rather than guessing.
Before You Begin
Steps
Choose the folder first
Select the destination folder in the sidebar before you upload. The file area then becomes a drop target for it.
If you are in All Files and drop something, the upload is not refused outright — you are asked to choose a destination folder, because All Files is a view across everything rather than a place a file can live.
Drop the files, or browse for them
Drag files from your computer onto the file area. An overlay covers the screen and names the folder they will land in, so you can confirm the destination before you let go.
Or press Upload and pick files the usual way. Both routes do exactly the same thing.
Watch the progress panel
A panel appears at the bottom right with a line per file and a progress bar on each. It stays while you move around the screen, so you can browse other folders while an upload runs.
Three files upload at a time; the rest queue. You can cancel one that has not finished, and retry one that failed. Collapse the panel if it is in the way — it keeps working.
Check anything that was refused
A file can be turned away for two reasons, and both are shown in the panel rather than passed over in silence:
- It is too large. The ceiling is 64 MB per file.
- The type is not accepted. Images (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, AVIF, SVG), video (MP4, WebM, MOV), audio (MP3, WAV, AAC), documents (PDF, DOC, DOCX, TXT, MD) and web fonts (WOFF2) are allowed.
A refusal happens before anything is sent, so nothing half-uploads.
Tag what you just uploaded
New images and PDFs arrive untagged, and the banner across the top of the screen will say so. Tagging is what makes a file usable by the rest of the platform rather than merely stored — it is worth doing while you still remember what the files are.
Result
The files are in the folder you chose and appear in the grid. Select one to open the detail panel, where you can copy its URL, download it, move it or delete it.
Troubleshooting
You are in All Files, which is a view rather than a location. Select a real folder in the sidebar and drop again, or choose the destination when prompted.
The limit is 64 MB per file. A longer video needs compressing, or belongs in the video library rather than here.
It collapses rather than closing, and it survives changing folders. Look at the bottom right. Reloading the page, however, cancels anything still in flight.
Its folder is on private storage, which does not serve files over a public URL. Move the file to a folder on the public delivery service if it needs to be linked to.
