What file types can I upload to the Files area in SoftChalk Cloud?

You can upload many common file types directly to the Files area in your SoftChalk Cloud account. Once uploaded, these files can be referenced from one or more lessons.

Commonly uploaded file types include:

  • Excel workbooks (.xlsx)

  • Word documents (.doc, .docx)

  • PowerPoint presentations (.ppt, .pptx)

  • PDF documents (.pdf)

  • Text files (.txt)

  • Image files (.jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif, and others)

  • Audio files (.aiff, .au, .mid, .midi, .mp3, .ra, .ram, .rmf, .wav)

  • Video files (.avi, .mpeg, .mp4, .m4v, .mpg, .mov, .ogg, .wmv)

  • ZIP packages (.zip)

To upload a file:

  1. In SoftChalk Cloud, navigate to My Content > Files.

  2. Under the Actions menu, click Upload Files.

  3. Click Choose Files to locate your file, or drag and drop the file into the upload area.

  4. Once the file(s) appear listed, click the Upload button.

  5. The page will refresh and automatically display the uploaded file(s).

IMPORTANT: Not all file types are supported for upload. If a file upload does not complete successfully, verify the file format before attempting to upload again.

For spreadsheet data files, SoftChalk recommends using Excel Workbook (.xlsx) format. Files in formats such as .csv or .tsv should be opened in Microsoft Excel and saved as an .xlsx file before uploading.

If a file upload completes but the file does not appear in the Files area, contact SoftChalk Support and provide the file type and a screenshot or recording of the upload behavior.
