How do I upload a file?
The order page serves as a centralized, secure location for storing and exchanging files and documents, such as relevant publications, images, legal agreements, and results.
1. You can upload documents to your messages on the order timeline by clicking the “Attach file to your message” button.
2. Alternatively, select the cloud icon on the Attachments tab near the bottom-right side of the order page.
You may choose files from these locations:
· Your computer (Science Exchange’s file uploader supports all file formats)
· URL Link
· Dropbox
· Box
· Google Drive
· Gmail
The file upload speed depends on your network’s infrastructure and computing limitations. Please note that there is a size limit of 5GB per file upload. Uploaded files are stored for a minimum of 5 years in Amazon AWS Secure S3 buckets.
