Upload a File or Folder

Upload a file or a Zip file to the Files tab in Altair Drive.

While uploading a file to Altair Drive, the application reads the file contents and displays the content type automatically.

To upload files larger than 500 MB, use the Altair Drive Desktop application to upload from your mounted location.

Note: When you upload an existing file to Altair Drive, the file name is added with the sequential number in brackets as a suffix. For example: Health_Check_Model.stmod(1) <file name (sequential number)>

You can upload one or more files at a time. You can view your storage update on the left pane once the files are uploaded.

    The Open dialog box displays your recently accessed folder path on your system.
  3. Select a file and click Open.
