Uploading documents to share

You can upload to My Files any type of documents that your administrator allows. You control who can view, download, or edit the documents.

About this task

For IBM Content Navigator users, see how to add documents to the repository.

Your administrator determines who can upload files and limits the amount of space that you have for storing files. When you reach that limit, you cannot add anything new to HCL Connections™ Docs. The amount of space that you are using is displayed in the My Files view, at the end of the list of files. You can delete old versions of your files to create space.
