Good to know

• You are the file owner if you upload or create a file. If you need to transfer one or more files to a new owner, contact your administrator and provide them with the email address of the person that you want the files transferred to.
• If you are using an HTML-5 browser, the file size limit for a single file is set by your administrator. Otherwise, the file size limit is 500 MB.
• Your administrator sets the limit for the amount of space that you have for storing files. Stored files include all versions of uploaded files. You can delete old file versions to create more storage space.
• Files are scanned for viruses during upload. Uploaded files are also scanned periodically for viruses.
