Upload Files or Folders to the Project Level Documents Tool

Objective

To upload files and folders to a project's Documents tool.

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions:
    • 'Standard' or 'Admin' permissions on the project's Documents tool.
  • Additional Information:
    • There is a 50GB file size limit for individual uploads. However, factors such as network speed and reliability can cause larger file uploads to fail. 
    • When you upload files to a folder in the Documents tool, Procore will automatically check the folder for existing files. If a file with the same name is found, you can upload it as a new version of the existing file. See Upload New File Versions.
    • We recommend uploading files and folders directly from your computer’s local drive. Files from other sources, including Shared drives (such as ODrive or Google Drive) or email attachments, should be downloaded to your computer before uploading to Procore.
    • If any documents are compressed in a Zip file (.zip), make sure to extract the files on your computer before uploading them so that they can be viewed in Procore.

Upload Files or Folders Using the Documents Tool

  2. Click on the folder in the Documents tool that you want to upload files or folders to.
