Upload Content
There are two ways to upload content using the web interface, the basic upload and the advanced upload. The basic upload allows you to upload one file at a time. The advanced upload allows for uploading multiple files and folders through a drag and drop interface.
Note: there is a 2 GB limit on uploading content through the web interface. For larger files, use either WebDAV or the Xythos drive. For information on using WebDav and Xythos drive, please visit Upload and Download Files.
