Use My Files

What this does​

Use My Files to manage documents you want available in Addie.

Before you begin​

  • Sign in to Addie.
  • Open My Files from the left sidebar.

Open My Files​

Select My Files from the sidebar.

Upload a file​

If you do not have files yet, select Upload File.

If you already have files, select Upload.

You can drag and drop a file or browse for one.

Add a display name if you want​

You can keep the default file name or enter a clearer display name before uploading.

Finish the upload​

Select Upload to add the file.

Open a file later​

Select a file in the list to open or preview it.

Depending on the file type, Addie may:

  • preview it in Addie
  • open it for editing if it is a text-based document
  • download it directly

Manage a file from the menu​

Select the menu button next to a file to:

  • Download
  • Rename
  • Delete
  • Edit for supported text files such as .md or .txt

What happens next​

  • Uploaded files stay in My Files until you delete them.
  • Some files help give Addie more context.
  • If a file cannot be read for text, Addie may show that its text is not available.

If something looks wrong​

My file will not upload​

  • Check that the file type is supported.
  • Check that the file is under the size limit shown in the upload window.

Addie says text could not be extracted​

  • The file may still be stored successfully.
  • It just means Addie could not read useful text from that file.

I uploaded the wrong file​

  • Open the file menu.
  • Rename it if the file is correct but the name is confusing.
  • Delete it if you do not want to keep it.
  • Use My Notes
  • Read teacher comments
