Uploading ZIP files with multiple documents

When you upload a .zip file, the system performs the following actions:

  • Automatically unzips the file into a new folder with the same name as the uploaded .zip file.

  • Automatically deletes files that are not images or documents.

  • Scans the files for viruses and deletes any infected files.

  • Deletes the original .zip file that was uploaded.


File size limitations

The maximum allowed file size for uploads is 25 MB. If a file exceeds the maximum upload size, a warning will be displayed:
