Adding/creating documents

To transfer all your files to your Personal office, you can upload existing documents from your computer hard disk drive or integrate your Google Drive, Box, Dropbox, OneDrive, Nextcloud, ownCloud, kDrive, and Yandex Disk account with the online office.

Uploading files and folders

To upload a file,

  1. open the 'My documents' section and select a folder where you want to upload your files to by selecting the corresponding options at the left-side panel,
  2. click the Actions button button in the left upper corner,
  3. select the Upload icon Upload files option from the menu,
  4. choose the files you want to upload to the online office in the file manager window and click the Open button.

Or simply drag-and-drop a file or several selected files from your computer to the working area to upload documents to your portal even more easily.

By default, 2 GB of storage space is available in a Personal cloud. And the maximum size of the uploaded file should not exceed 25 Mb.

The uploading process will start. If the file format differs from Office Open XML, the file will be converted into the .docx/.xlsx/.pptx format for faster editing. A notification window will appear where you will be able to select if you want to save both files (a file in its original format and a file in the Office Open XML format). If you don't need files in the original format on the portal, you can uncheck the Save the file copy in the original format as well box. It'll be taken into consideration during the next uploading operations, and a converted file will be added as a new revision of the original file rather than as a new separate file.

Uploading Files Uploading Files

If an original file is protected with a password, the password will be required to convert the file. If you click the Convert and Open icon Convert & Open icon to the right of the uploaded document in the file list, a new window will open where you need to enter a password.
