Uploading files and archives in Document Depot

File upload operation in Document Depot is designed to accommodate upload of any number of files of various types and size. For every uploaded file Document Depot automatically creates an icon specific to its type and a thumbnail (if uploading an image file). Uploaded files are placed in a designated folder and can be opened in a new browser window for viewing.

Document Depot offers users the flexibility of several ways of uploading files from a local computer. Depending on the number and size of uploaded files, users can choose their preferred way between the following:

• Uploading a small number of files
• Uploading ZIP archive
• Uploading large size files via FTP

Below you can find detailed description of every upload option.

Uploading a small number of files
This kind of upload is the simplest and is often used if needed to quickly upload several files, not too large in size. Document Depot lets you upload up to 4 files in one operation. This upload is invoked by simply clicking File -> Add File from Document Depot main window. For each uploaded file you can also add notes or file description:

Uploading ZIP archive
You can upload an archive saved in ZIP format from you local computer (by clicking File -> Upload Archive). This is useful if uploading large number of files, folders, and levels of subfolders. Once uploaded, you are offered to have your archive uncompressed, during which files are extracted and placed in their designated folders, leaving archive folder hierarchy intact. This makes it a great option if you wish to populate Document Depot with files and folders from another program, and preserve the familiar folder structure. During upload operation you can indicate if you don’t want to create thumbnails for image files as it may slow down upload process.

In Document -> Service you can click FTP tab and use FTP feature to transfer large files in a matter of seconds.
