2. Once you're logged in, navigate to the folder you wish to upload your new file to, then click the 'add file' button.
3. You will now be on the screen where you can enter details about your new file and also choose the file from your computer for uploading. Below is an explanation of the various fields on the file upload screen. (Remember, you can click the small
