Upload Files

Uploading files is done in four steps (see Figure 1):

1. Click on the plus next to the resource name. 
2. Select files
3. Specify metadata in the file context menu (fields with red asterisk (*) are mandatory)
4. Click on "Upload" in the file context menu 

Note (point 3): The metadata schema were selected when creating the resource. The metadata entered here can be changed later in the file context menu. The metadata schema cannot be changed within a resource (for more on this topic, see Metadata and Application Profiles).

Note (point 4): for large individual files (over 2-3 GB), the RDS-Web up- and download via browser may fail due to browser limitations, select the Coscine API for upload or another resource if necessary, e.g. RDS-S3.

Multiple Selection

You can select multiple files simultaneously in the File Explorer (middle panel) and work on a subset of the selected files in the file context menu (see Figure 2 and video below). 

Note: for simultaneous editing, the "ALL FILES" area must now be selected in the file context menu. 

Example (Figure 2): files cat.jpg and cat2.jpg are selected simultaneously in File Explorer (left). In the file context menu (right) only the first file (file index 1) is selected for editing.
