Uploading a Document

There are a number of different ways to upload documents to FileHound. Follow the steps below to upload.

Traditional Upload

STEP ONE: Click on the 'Upload' button found on the main toolbar, or the 'cloud-shaped' 'Upload' icon in the header bar at the top of the screen.

STEP TWO: Click the Upload A File 'Choose' button when the window pops up.

STEP THREE: Browse to the document(s) you are looking for and click Open. You can select multiple documents to upload them at the same time.

Drag & Drop

FileHound allows single or multiple documents to be uploaded by dragging and dropping them into the browser window.

To upload documents via drag and drop follow these steps:

STEP ONE: Navigate to the location within FileHound which you'd like to upload files to - for example an inbox, cabinet or specific folder

STEP TWO: Select the files from any location on your computer

STEP THREE: Drag the documents over the browser window

STEP FOUR: Hold until you seen a blue screen with a message that reads Drop Files Here

STEP FIVE: Drop the documents by releasing your mouse button

The image below shows what will happen when you drag a document into the FileHound interface section.

While the documents are uploading, you will see a document uploading progress panel for each document under the upload button in the header bar.

Drop Folder Service

Alternatively, if you are using an on-premise edition, you can upload documents directly from a scanner or multi-function printer using our drop folder service.

A specific folder can be configured on your corporate network or local computer that will automatically upload any documents that are saved there. For example a shared Finance Folder for invoices that need to be uploaded automatically into specific FileHound Team inboxes for workflow.
