Upload a file

If you want to open a text file from your device, use the Upload and open command. The file will be automatically uploaded to My documents folder in the file storage. When you upload a file, it is converted into the internal format of the respective applications. If the format is supported by MyOffice editors, the file will open in the respective application. If the file cannot be converted, it will open in the view only format.

1.Click File > Upload and open or press Ctrl+O ( command Cmd+O).

2.In the opened window, select the file and click Open.

You cannot convert a password-protected document. When converting, you will be warned to delete the password and upload the document once again.

If an error message window appears when downloading or converting a file, the file may have been damaged or the internet connection may have been interrupted. Try to upload the file again by clicking Retry.

When you upload a signed external-format document using MyOffice Text, the document's electronic signature will be removed as a result of conversion. To avoid losing the signature of external format documents and documents with detached electronic signature, upload such documents using MyOffice Documents application.

This notification is a warning, and the user can continue working on files without interruption. You can hide the warning by clicking wind_close on the warning or by logging in to MyOffice web applications again. In case the quota problem persists the next day, the notification will be shown to the user once again.

•The allocated quota limit has been reached: A notice will be displayed above the Control bar that the file storage space is running out. This warning cannot be hidden, no further operations with files are possible until the quota issue is solved.
