An administrator can add a file browser to any folder or tab location.
The Files web part provides a built-in drag-and-drop upload interface. Open a browser window and drag the desired file or files onto the drag-and-drop target area.
Folders, along with any sub-folders, can also be uploaded via drag-and-drop. Uploaded folder structure will be reproduced within the LabKey file system. Note that empty folders are ignored and not uploaded or created.
While files are uploading, a countdown of files remaining is displayed in the uploader. This message disappears on completion.
If drag and drop is not suitable, you can also click the Upload Files button which will let you browse to Choose a File. You can also enter a Description via this method. Click Upload to complete.
When you import a files in a folder/subfolder structure, that structure is retained, but you can also create new folders directly in the file browser. In the file browser, select the parent folder, or select no parent to create the new folder at the top level. Click the Create Folder button:
Enter the name of the new folder in the popup dialog, and click Submit:
Note that folder names must follow these naming rules:
Administrators can grant users permission to see absolute file paths in the file browser on a site wide basis.
Users who have not been given the See Absolute File Paths role will see only an empty column.
