Uploading Documents

Documents are the files you keep with a project — drawings, submissions, correspondence, photos, anything.
Document upload flow in Arkata

How to upload

  1. Open a project
  2. Go to the Documents tab
  3. Click Upload
  4. Select the file from your computer
  5. Choose a category (optional but recommended — see Categories)
  6. Wait for the upload to complete
  7. The document appears in your project’s document list
Your file goes straight to secure cloud storage and is ready to download as soon as the upload finishes.
Start the upload promptly — the upload link expires after 10-15 minutes. On a slow connection with a very large file you may need to try again.
