Upload and Import Files

Upload quality affects structure, permissions, and search from day one.

Safe upload workflow

  1. open the target folder first
  2. verify folder is correct collaboration boundary
  3. upload files
  4. validate names and destination
  5. notify collaborators only after validation

Guardrails

  • avoid uploading into repository root unless intentional
  • avoid bulk uploads into ambiguous folders
  • keep naming patterns deterministic for repeat workflows

Post-upload check

  • files appear in expected folder
  • access behaves as intended for target collaborators
  • content is discoverable via search

Failure pattern

Moving large batches after upload usually creates confusion and weak traceability. Choose destination correctly before upload.
