Uploading files

Get sheet music, recordings and documents into your choir's Files — on the web and in the app.

Web + app

Files is your choir's shared file storage: sheet music, recordings, minutes and anything else you want to share all end up here. This guide shows you how to upload files — one at a time or several at once — and what to do when an upload gets stuck.

Who's allowed to upload?

Only the choir leadership and admins can upload. For all other members, Files is read-only: they see the files shared with them and can download them, but can't add new ones. Creating folders, renaming, moving and deleting are likewise reserved for the choir leadership and admins.

How to upload files

Web app
Open “Files”, click “Upload” at the top right and choose “Upload files”. In the file dialog you can select several files at once. Alternatively, just drag and drop files into the window — the area highlights and shows “Drop files to upload”.
Mobile app
Open “Files”, tap the plus at the bottom right and then “Upload files”. You can choose between “From Files” (documents on your device) and “From Photos” (images and videos from your gallery). Either way, you can select several items at the same time.
Which folder do they land in?

New uploads are always placed in the folder you're currently in. If you want them somewhere else, switch to the right folder first — or move the files later.

Uploading whole folders

Web only

Via Upload›Upload folder you can transfer an entire folder, subfolders included, into Files. cori recreates the same folder structure in Files. In the mobile app you upload individual files instead and create the folders by hand as needed.

While the upload is running

Uploads keep running in the background while you do other things in cori — you don't have to sit and wait on one screen.

Web app
A small window appears at the bottom right with the progress of each file. Use the X to cancel an upload in progress; “Clear finished” tidies away completed entries.
Mobile app
At the top of Files, the upload icon shows a counter of the uploads in progress; tap it to open the upload list. There you can see the progress and stop individual uploads with “Cancel upload”. A notification also tells you when an upload has finished.
Leave the app open while it runs

The upload is carried out in cori itself. Large files are best uploaded while the app stays open and your device doesn't go to sleep. If an upload is cancelled — by you or by a dropped connection — nothing half-saved is left behind; you simply start it again.

File types, names and size

  • File type: cori accepts any file type — PDF sheet music, MP3 recordings, images, videos, Office documents and more. Images and videos automatically get a preview in Files.
  • Name: up to 255 characters; the characters / and \ aren't allowed. If there's already a file with exactly that name in the same folder, cori reports a conflict — rename the file in that case.
  • Size: there's no fixed limit per file. The only limit is your choir's total storage space. If that's full, the upload is refused with the message "Storage quota exceeded" — chat attachments count towards the same quota.
