Step 2 : Understanding file parameters

There are a few file parameters you will need to understand before uploading any new files.You can upload one or many files at the same time. But, if you are uploading a lot of files at the same time, be aware this may take a while. It is optimal to do this in batches to ensure you don’t crash the website.It will state the maximum upload size which as a standard is 64MB on most sites that we create.
