How to upload a File

Uploading files to the site is easy. All you have to do is to log in, and you’ll see a link named “+submit file” at the top right.

Step 1

Type in the name of the file you want to upload to see if someone else has already submitted it. If so, you’re either done or you can upload a newer version if the current one is outdated. If the file wasn’t found, click the button below.

Step 2

Whatever you chose, you’ll automatically be brought to a new screen. Here, you have to choose the location for your upload. It should automatically continue once you select a Sub-Category, but if it doesn’t, you can use the button below.

If there are some files in the category you chose already, you can choose which one you want to update. You can also use the button at the bottom to submit a complete new file.
