Uploading PDF Expert Documents from an IPad to TUWEL

When uploading files to TUWEL, one can choose between two possibilities: drag & drop from the folder the document is situated in to the upload box in TUWEL or browsing within the file system. Both situations are a bit problematic when using an IPad because the system does not allow browsing the complete file system and an open folder fills the whole screen which makes it impossible to use drag & drop at least if the user is a bit clumsy with a touchscreen.

Uploading PDF Expert Documents from an IPad to TUWEL

The easiest solution would be to simply move the files to another computer by using a cable or sending the files. This might be difficult as documents in the PDF-Expert folder – in contrast to the folders with pictures, films, etc. - are only rarely approachable when opening the IPad media on a Linux or Windows system.

Thus, the only solution always working for me seemed to be uploading the files (or an zipped archive) to a web-space (e.g. home.student.tuwien.ac.at or a dropbox) and downloading them (it) from another computer where the TUWEL system can be used easily.
