Download a document from the Docs section by selecting the document and clicking the download icon that appears across at the top right. You can also select Download wherever a document is added in the project, or in the open document previewer.
Upload files and folders to the Docs Section by clicking the upload icon in the top right, or by simply dragging files and folders from your device to the desired folder.
Upload Options
Clicking the upload icon opens the Upload modal, where you can click to select files and folders from your device, or drag and drop files and folders.
You can also upload files or folders directly to a folder by dragging the documents from your computer files to the desired folder in the folder navigation view. Upload a document to the folder you are currently in by dragging the documents from your computer files into the document list.
There is no limit to the size of the folders you upload, but each individual file must be below 50 gigabytes in order to upload.
Note
Document uploads can still be limited by your device. If a large document upload fails, it may be due to your device’s RAM and upload speeds.
Progress Window
While the files or folders are loading, a collapsible progress window appears at the bottom left of the screen. The progress window displays any ongoing uploads and downloads.
Each upload shows the number of documents and folders in the upload and contains a link to where they were uploaded. The progress of an upload is recorded underneath the link. To cancel an upload, click the X next to that upload in the progress window. Uploads continue if you navigate into a different project, and will only be canceled if you navigate out of Filevine or close the browser.
