Upload Documents

Before uploading the document, you may want to check if you wish to upload it into the room library or your personal desk. This is just to keep the library more organised for you when you are looking for the files later.

If you are uploading into the room, you may also need to check if you are in the correct group as files in one group cannot be shared between one another.

Click the ' +' icon to open a new tab.

Select PDF/Image under New in the pop-up window that appears.

If you have the file open in a folder,  drag the file that you want to upload from your system file explorer and drop it into the pop-out window.

You can also click  Select files to open the system file explorer to select a file. 

Note that the supported file types for upload are .png, .jpg, .pdf and .gif. Microsoft office files e.g. Word documents, Powerpoint slides, Excel sheets (.doc, .ppt, .excel etc.) are not supported. You can first convert them into PDF files before uploading.
