How do I add a file to my briefcase?

This process is called "uploading." To upload a file or photo, follow these steps:

  1. Click the "Add File" link, found either on the Folder List (the front page of your briefcase) or within a specific folder or album.
  2. Select the type of file upload from the top of the "Add File" page. "Multiple Files" lets you upload as many as six files at a time.
    • Single File: Click the "Browse" button to choose the item to be uploaded. Locate the item on your computer's hard drive, select it, and click the "Open" button. If you can't find the file or photo, make sure you are not limiting the types of files shown in the "Browse" window. (To point to an item already on the Web, click the "Or point to a file on the Web" link.)
    • Multiple Files: This works just like the "Single File" option, but you can upload up to six files at once.
  3. Give your item a name and brief description, then click "Upload." There might be some delay or lag time while your item is being sent to us, depending on the size of the file and the speed of your Internet connection. (If you're linking to an online file, you will see "Add Link" at this stage.)

Note for Mac users: If you use a Macintosh computer, be sure to add a file extension to the name of the item before you click "Upload." If your picture is a JPEG, add ".jpg" to the end of the name (e.g., a JPEG photo named "cowbell" would be renamed "cowbell.jpg"). If your file is a Microsoft Word document, add ".doc" to the end of the name.
