Adding files to a project requires use of the “much beloved” file selector dialog… We are all used to this dialog since ages, but times change: With the latest browser versions we are now able to offer you a better alternative:
How to drag & drop files
1. Go to a project’s documents page and look for the “Drag & Drop files” link.
2. Click the link and drag your files from your PC/Mac into the highlighted box:
The files are copied to the selected documents folder.
Goodie: This new tool also allows to use the file selector (see Select button). Here you can now select multiple files as well, something the classic upload link does not allow.
Dropping complete folders
You cannot drop complete folders (maybe in future browser versions).
Instead, zip your folder and drop the zip archive. Then, in the library, right click the zip file and choose ‘Extract here’.
Browser support
This feature is available for the latest Firefox, Chrome and Safari browsers.
Internet Explorer is not supported (we have to wait for version 10).
Notes
When an upload fails, you will see an error message. Typical errors are:
- A file exceeds the maximum size of 200 MB
- A file already exists and is marked for online or offline translation
