This article describes how you can upload and save files and folders to DRACOON with the DRACOON Web App.

Upload files to DRACOON

Option 1: Upload files using the "Upload files" command

1. Open the data room or DRACOON folder to which you want to upload files.
2. Click the Upload button in the upper right corner and then Upload file.
3. Select the files from your hard disk that you want to upload.

   You can select multiple files by holding down the Ctrl or Shift key while selecting files.

Option 2: Upload files via drag & drop

• Select the files you want to upload in File Explorer (Windows) or the Finder (Mac), and drag them to the desired data room/folder in the DRACOON Web App.
  

Upload folders to DRACOON

You can upload an entire folder with its subfolders to DRACOON. The existing structure of the subfolders will be transferred to DRACOON.

Option 1: Upload folder by using the "Upload folder" command

1. Open the data room or DRACOON folder to which you want to upload the folder.
2. Click the Upload button in the upper right corner and then Upload folder.
3. Select the folder from your hard drive that you want to upload.

Option 2: Upload folder via drag & drop

• Select the folder you want to upload in File Explorer (Windows) or the Finder (Mac) and drag it to the desired data room/folder in the DRACOON Web App.

Upload Status window

During the upload, a small status window is displayed at the bottom right, where you can track the progress of the upload at any time.

• The Upload Status window always remains visible during the upload, even if you continue working with the web app in the foreground.
• You can hide the upload status window by clicking > in the upper right corner.
• To get detailed information about your uploads, click Display details. You will then be taken to the upload history (see next section).

Upload history: Control and manage uploads

In the upload history, you can view details of all ongoing and completed uploads, resolve upload conflicts if necessary, and process uploaded files immediately.

• To access the upload history, in the left sidepane, click Uploads.
  

The upload history is divided into two lists: Current uploads and Finished.

"Current uploads": List of current and pending uploads

The Current uploads list displays the files that are currently being uploaded and shows the respective upload progress. Up to 3 files are uploaded at the same time. Other files whose upload is still pending are queued and automatically started after another upload has been completed.

Cancel uploads

If necessary, you can cancel the upload of a file by pointing to the relevant entry and then clicking one of the two buttons to the right of the progress bar:

• The first button ( ) can be used to cancel an upload, leaving it in the Current uploads list and restarting it later. This is useful, for example, if a very large running upload is to be put on hold.
• With the second button ( ) an upload is permanently discarded and removed from the Current uploads list.

Detecting failed uploads

If an upload fails (e.g. due to an interrupted Internet connection), the upload remains in the Current uploads list, and the progress status changes to "Upload failure".
This allows you to reliably detect failed uploads, even if you were not sitting in front of the screen during the interruption, for example.

Restarting aborted or failed uploads

You can retrigger an upload that was interrupted by clicking a button or failed by pointing to the entry in question and clicking the restart button:

"Finished": List of successfully completed uploads

The Finished section shows the list of completed uploads. Here, you can check out successful uploads at any time and further process the completed uploads in DRACOON.

You can jump directly to the location of an uploaded file from the list by pointing to the relevant entry and then clicking the Show button.

Set expiration date, classification, and description after uploading

Often, after the upload, an expiration date, the classification, or a description should be specified for the uploaded file right away. To simplify this, this can be made directly from the "Completed" list. To do this, simply click the desired file, and the corresponding fields will be displayed on the right for filling out.
