Uploading files

The BlackBerry Workspaces Web Application allows you to upload a new file to a workspace and upload a new version of a file, which overwrites the existing file.

The maximum file size for upload using the BlackBerry Workspaces Web Application is 10GB. Files of up to 10GB can be uploaded, however, the capability to upload may be limited by your computer’s available system resources or by your organization administrator who may have set a sync policy that restricts the type or size of files that you upload. Contact your organization's BlackBerry Workspaces administrator for more details.
