Connecting Uploads

Always available, for anything Astruct does not connect to.

• Who does it: You.
• How long: As long as the upload takes. Keep the tab open until it finishes.

What Astruct reads

• Everything you upload: PDFs, Word and Excel files, images, saved emails with their attachments, and the files inside zips. Each is filed by what it is and read.

Upload to a project

1. On the new project page, step 2 (Documents), drop files, folders or zips onto the box, or select Choose files or Choose a folder. Or open the project's Library and select Upload or Folder.
2. Any number of files, in any mix. Folders keep their structure; zips are opened and keep their folders. Up to 50 MB a file.
3. Saved emails (.eml from most mail apps, .msg from Outlook) are read as emails and filed as correspondence, with their attachments.
4. The list shows each file as it uploads. When it says Uploaded, Astruct reads it.

When it is working

• Each file shows Uploaded, then appears in the project's Library in its folder.

If something goes wrong

• “over the 50 MB limit” Compress the file or split it into parts of 50 MB or less.
• “Skipped: ” A system file (such as .DS_Store or Thumbs.db) or an empty file. Nothing to do.
• “This file is password protected, so its pages cannot be read.” Save a copy without the password and upload that.
• “A .mpp cannot be read directly.” Save the programme from Microsoft Project as XML (File > Save As > XML Format) and upload that.
• “Did not upload” Select Retry. If it fails again, check your connection and try the file on its own.

Astruct never asks for your password. Still stuck? Email info@astruct.io.
