Storage
Storage is your project's file manager. Use it to upload, organise, and preview files associated with your project.
The storage browser
The storage browser shows the files and folders at your current location. Use the search bar at the top to filter files and folders by name in real time.
Use the pagination arrows at the bottom to move between pages when a folder contains more than 100 items.
Click the Back button in the toolbar to navigate up to the parent folder.
Create folders
Keep your files organised by creating folders:
Click the Create button in the toolbar.
Enter a name for the folder (2 to 128 characters).
Click Create.
Empty folders are automatically removed. If you need to keep an empty folder, a placeholder file (KEEPME.md) is used to preserve it.
Upload files
Click the Upload button in the toolbar to open the upload modal. From there you can:
Browse / Select Files - opens a file picker to choose one or more files from your device
Take Picture - opens your device camera to capture a photo
Record Video - opens a video recorder to capture a video clip
Record Audio - starts an audio recording using your device microphone
You can upload multiple files in one session. A progress bar shows the upload status for each file. When all uploads are complete, click Return to close the modal.
File and folder options
Each file and folder has a three-dot options menu (...) with the following actions:
Rename (folders only) - enter a new name for the folder
Download - download the file directly to your device; for folders, downloads the entire folder as a ZIP archive
Extract (ZIP files only) - extracts the contents of the ZIP archive into the current folder
Delete - permanently removes the file or folder
Deleting a file or folder cannot be undone. Make sure you have a backup if needed.
View a file
Click on any file in the storage browser to open the file view page. This page shows:
An image preview for image files
File metadata - size, file type, and storage path
A Download button to save the file to your device
An Analyse button for image files (see below)
A Delete button to permanently remove the file
AI image analysis
For image files, click the Analyse button to run an automated object-detection analysis. The platform identifies objects in the image and displays labels in the metadata. This is useful for quickly cataloguing field photos.
The Analyse button is only shown for image file types.
Selecting a file from within another feature
When another part of the platform asks you to pick a file from storage - for example when configuring a dashboard map component or importing data into a table - a storage browser popup appears. Use it the same way as the main storage browser:
Navigate into folders by clicking on them.
Click a file or folder to select it (selected items are highlighted).
Click Select to confirm your choice, or Cancel to close without selecting.
Use the Back button or the breadcrumb trail in the popup to navigate to a parent folder.
