Accessing File Manager

5. Next, click the Upload button in the ribbon at the top of the page.
6. This will cause a new tab to open on your browser.
7. As you have already clicked on the destination folder in the left-hand menu, the details of where the folder is to be created will be automatically filled in for you, e.g., the home /Example folder.
8. If you are uploading a newer version of an existing file, decide whether you want the original file to be overwritten. If you do, check the Overwrite existing files box.
9. Next, either drag the file you want to import inside the dotted box or click on the Select button and choose a file from your computer’s hard drive. As soon as you have done this, the file will be uploaded. The upload progress will be shown as a green bar underneath the dotted box.
