Uploading files

The 
BlackBerry Workspaces Web Application
 allows you to:
  • Upload a new file to a workspace 
  • Upload a new version of a file, which overwrites the existing file
The maximum file size for upload via 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
