1. Introduction

Our system allows you to upload general files to just about anywhere on your website, so that your users can download them. These could include Word, Excel, jpegs, zip files, etc. Please note you are limited in the number you can upload as well as overall file sizes depending on which Subscription level you have taken out with us. To see the allowance available for your subscription level, click on Account  Subscriptions in the admin menu.

2. Stage 1: Uploading the files to the admin system
