Why can’t I upload a file to Hoowla?

This quick guide will help you troubleshoot if you cannot upload a document by giving you a series of steps

  1. Is the file one of the following format:
    • For Image files: PNG, JPG, JPEG, HEIC
    • For readable files: DOC, DOCX, PDF
    • For email files: MSG
  2. Try opening the document – are you able to view it?
  3. Is the document password protected? If so the password needs to be removed.
  4. Are you able to upload other files to the case? i.e. is it just this file that you cannot upload?
  5. How big is the document? If it is over 10mb in size consider compressing it. You can do this online by searching “compress document” or something similar.
  6. Check your internet connection, a slow connection can hinder the uploading process.
