Uploading Files

File Operations

Users can begin storing more items in the cloud by opening their file explorer on the desktop and copying files into the SFU vault folder. 

First, open the destination folder by clicking on the ellipsis (...) on the right side of the main "Account" menu of the desktop app.

With the destination folder open, drag any new files into the SFU vault space to upload them into the cloud library.  The sync should start immediately afterward and the status bar in the desktop app screen will display the upload progress. 

Confirm that the sync was succesful by checking that the copied file(s) has reached the SFU vault web browser or mobile app.

Users can also verify that their upload was a success by checking the "Activity" menu of the SFU vault desktop app, which is marked with a lightning bolt icon. 

This section monitors the activities that occur for both the server and local sync protocol, and an additional category is in place for items that were not synced into the cloud storage.
