Uploading files

Alfred Finder can upload new files to folders in Alfresco, and you can edit their metadata immediately after uploading.

Upload functionality is available in the Upload panel, which is hidden by default. The upload panel will appear automatically when you upload a file.

Upload one or more files

You can upload a file (or multiple files at once) in two places:

  • You can use the Explorer panel to browse to the desired folder. Once you find your desired folder, you can:
    • Use the context menu to upload a file
    • Drag and drop a file on the folder to upload it
  • You can click the upload button next to the searchbar to upload a file.

    You will then be asked to browse to the folder where you want to store the file.

With the upload panel open, you have additional options to upload one or more files:

  • By using the upload button in the upload panel
  • By dragging and dropping files on the upload panel

Opening the upload panel

The upload panel is automatically shown when uploading documents, but you can also make the panel visible by dragging it in place from the Panels sidebar.

Modifying metadata

Clicking on the pencil button next to a document in the Upload panel will open the Metadata panel in edit mode, so you can immediately start editing the metadata of the document you just uploaded.
