Uploading Files to a Folder | Siemens EDA Help Center

Role: Administrator or Editor.

You can upload ancillary data files associated with a project version to a secure location in the cloud. Uploading and storing non-design related information about the project, such as vendor part specifications, engineering notes, graphical illustrations, schedules, budgeting spreadsheets, and so forth, provides a collaborative repository for team members who access the project.

There are two methods to upload files to the project's collaboration workspace in the cloud hosted by the Connect application:

Drag and drop one or more files from your desktop to the project's Files page in the Connect application.
Browse for and select a filename from the Files page in the Connect application.

The Connect application accepts a wide variety of data file formats for storage in folders associated with the project.

Restrictions and Limitations

The maximum file storage capacity for non-design related data associated with a project in the cloud is 1GB.

Click Cancel to stop the upload process.
Click Replace to remove the existing file in the project's folder and then upload the new file.
