Do's and Don'ts for Uploading Files to eResearch

Do	Don't
Upload common file formats; remember, not everyone has the same software you do	Have spaces in the file name of the file you are uploading. You can replace spaces with underscores (for example, file_name.doc)
Scan printed documents so you can upload the documents	Scan the documents at high resolution; generally, 300 dpi is sufficient

 

File Size Limit

There is a 150MB limit per file uploaded. Any file (such as scanned document) larger than 150MB will not be uploaded to eResearch. Note that you will not receive an error if you attempt to upload a file larger than 150MB, so it is important to verify the file size before uploading.

To verify the file size:

1. Locate the file in Windows Explorer.
2. Right-click the file and then select Properties.
   
   
3. In the Properties dialog box, confirm that the Size on disk does not exceed 150 MB.
