Solutions

  • Use our Upload form.
  • Compress the file

    Use tools like WinZip or compress pictures in PowerPoint or NXPower to reduce the size of your file. If it is less than 6MB you can send it. If it is still too big proceed to the next steps.

  • Upload time

    Please be aware that large volumes of data take considerable time to upload.
    Use the following calculator to have an estimate.

    Consider sending your data on CD, DVD or tape with an express service.
    If the download/upload time is reasonable, proceed to the next options.

  • If this is a file for another member of Vlerick personnel or students:
    use the available shares as much as possible
     
  • Service like send this file.
     
  • Uploading your file to your own web- or FTP site

    This may take some investigating with your Internet Service Provider or your IT-department, but almost all "pay" accounts for Internet access come with some amount of free webspace. Upload your zipped files to your website and e-mail us the URL and file name, then we can pull it down from there.

  • For all other questions please contact the helpdesk.
