Quota

300Mb

Secondary site(s) in workspace

200Mb each

Individual faculty

50Mb

n/a

Pages stored in TYPO3 do not count toward this file quota. Only uploaded files like graphics and PDF files are included in the calculation of the fileadmin disk usage.

Reports are not available to identify the percentage of the fileadmin disk quota that has been used by your site.

Attempts to upload files over the quota limit will result in an upload error.

Upload files in bulk

At this time, bulk upload (uploading multiple files at a time) by

  • selecting several files from the Windows File Explorer or
  • selecting a directory from the Windows File Explorer or
  • otherwise selecting more than the 10 maximum file upload slots in the TYPO3 Filelist module or
  • FTP access or
  • WebDAV

is neither possible nor allowed.

Create folders

  1. Click the next to the folder where you want to create a new folder
  2. Click New
  3. Optionally change the 1 folders drop-down to the number of new folders you wish to create
  4. Type the name of the folder you wish to create in the input field
    Repeat for each folder, if applicable
  5. Click the Create folders button to create the folders

Move files

In the event you want to reorganize files in the TYPO3 Filelist module, you may do so. However, be cautioned that moving files will break links to the file (in its old location) if any such links exist. Generally speaking, a "there are references to this item" warning will be displayed if any such links exist, though this is not guaranteed.

To move a file into another folder

  1. Open the Filelist module
  2. Optionally check the Show clipboard checkbox to assist with seeing any elements (including files) that are in the clipboard
  3. Click the button for the file you want to move
    • The cut button will change to indicate that the item has already been cut and you will see the file name listed in the clipboard
  4. Open the folder where the file should be pasted into
  5. Any locations where the clipboard item can be pasted, a (pastes into current folder) or (paste into the named folder) button will appear. Click the button to paste the item in the selected folder
  6. Click OK in the confirmation dialog that appears
  7. The element is now in the new location (no longer in the old location)
