Putting your files online

Before we go into the details of how we put our files into Mahara, let's think over why we want to do this.

Mahara replaces the USB stick

You can log on to Mahara from anywhere if you have access to the Internet, using an Internet Browser. This is great, because it means that you are able to upload and review your files, folders, blogs, and views whenever you need to! Some have described Mahara as an online USB stick, although we have already seen that it is much more than this when we started creating our Profile Page.

Mahara is a central resource space which allows you to share the stuff you put into it. No longer do you need to store all your important files in one place. Soon enough you are going to be presenting your work to others while you are sunning yourself on the beach!

Mahara prides itself on its quick file upload facility, which is the feature we are going to look at first. Let's upload your files into your own private space...
