How to share large files online in the MIS Portal How to share large files online in the MIS Portal Step 1 MIS Administrator grants website permissions to the staff or student Step 2 Staff or student uploads the file and share the access URL MIS Portal 1 (mis.eq.edu.au) allows staff or students to upload files then share the URL for others to access. Various permission levels can be set to ensure only the right people view your documents. All URLs to access documents stored online via the MIS Portal’s Content Upload feature have the below format (individual Access URLs are not displayed - you will need to create it yourself): http://resources.YourSchoolDomain.eq.edu.au/home/YourMISID/YourFileName Things to note: 1. Files to be uploaded cannot have spaces or characters in the filename. For example, the file ‘Example_MIS Guide.doc’ should be renamed to ‘ExampleMISGuide.doc’ prior to uploading. 2. Filenames in the URL are case sensitive. For example, if the document title is ‘MIS.doc’, then http://resources.exampleschool.eq.edu.au/home/examplemisid/mis.doc will not work. The correct URL would be http://resources.exampleschool.eq.edu.au/home/examplemisid/MIS.doc. 3. Changing permission levels to access the URL may take up to an hour to take effect.
