You have a few options for how to upload your files to SideDrawer.
Whichever path you choose, your files will be secured, and organized into Tiles and Records.

Drag & Drop

  1. Open your file folders and select your files
    In File Explorer (PC) or Find (Mac), open your folders and select the files you want to upload

  2. Drag the files to the Upload Files tab in SideDrawer
    Once you have the files selected, drag them toward the Upload Files tab in the upper right of your SideDrawer screen - drop the files anywhere along that top line to copy them to your SideDrawer!

  3. Destination Tile

    1. In the Upload Files pop-up, click on the 3 dots at the top left to select the Tile for the uploaded files


    2. Destination Record
      To create a new Record in your selected Tile, type a name in the Record Name line
      If you want to upload the files to an existing Record, click on the Record Name line, then choose your Destination Record from the drop-down list

    3. Multiple Records
      If you want to split your files between several Records, click on the + icon at the top left
      This will create a second Destination line, where you can choose a Tile and Record, and click on files to drag them to the second destination


      This option lets you grab multiple files from your hard drive, then send them to different Tiles and Records in your SideDrawer all in one flow

    4. Confirm that the files are correct -
      Check the names, sizes, and file extensions to make sure you have the right files in the right destinations, then click Confirm to complete the upload

Manually Select Files

  1. Click on Upload Files in the top right of the SideDrawer

    This will open your storage folders - Windows Explorer or Find

  2. Navigate to the folder and files you want to upload

  3. Select the file or files to be uploaded, then click Open


  4. This will open the upload pop-up, where you will select the Destination Tiles and Records, and check the files as in steps 3a - 3d above, then click Confirm to complete the upload:

Your files are now securely stored in your SideDrawer!
