30-032 Upload of Single or Zipped Files
Overview
In the course element Folder (see HelpCard 30-030) you can upload and download one document or multiple files with the help of a zipped archive.
A folder offers 1 GB of space to save your files. If necessary, you can request an increase of this space. To do this, please write an e-mail to e-campus@uibk.ac.at with the following information: title of the course/group and the title of the folder.
Important Steps
Uploading one file
- In your course open the folder you would like to upload your materials into.
- In the upper right-hand corner, choose the Upload file button. The window for uploading files opens up.
- Click onto the symbol for choosing a file. A new window opens up.
- Choose the desired file/zip archive.
- Click twice or click onto Open. The file name will be shown in the window for the upload.
- Confirm your choice and the upload of the file/archive by clicking onto Upload. The file/archive will be shown in the folder. Depending on the size of the file/archive, the upload may take a while.
Upload zipped file
- In your course open the folder you would like to upload your materials into.
- In the upper right-hand corner, choose the Upload file button. The window for uploading files opens up.
- Click onto the symbol for choosing a file. A new window opens up.
- Choose the desired zip archive.
- Click twice or click onto Open. The file name will be shown in the window for the upload.
- Confirm your choice and the upload of the file/archive by clicking onto Upload. The file/archive will be shown in the folder. Depending on the size of the file/archive, the upload may take a while.
- Choose the uploaded zip archive via a tick before the file name and click the Unzip button in the lower right-hand corner to make your files accessible for your students. Please note: If there is a file with 0 bytes in the zip archive, the archive will not be unzipped. The unzipped folder will show up as another folder in the course element.
- To avoid unnecessary confusion, it is recommended to transfer the files in the unzipped folder onto the higher level in the folder hierarchy and to delete both the now-empty unzipped folder as well as the zipped folder from the Course element.
- To do that, open the unzipped folder and select all the files, then click onto the Move button. The Move object window opens up.
- Choose the folder one level higher and click onto Move. If necessary, click onto the course element folder in the course navigation to refresh the page.
- Choose the ZIP archive and the empty folder by ticking the box to the left of the file/folder name and click Delete.
- Confirm your actions by clicking onto Yes. The files/folders have been deleted. The unzipped files are still present in the course element folder.
