I'm trying to upload flat file onto sas studio. it won't let me

[zhawasli1]

I will share screenshot. The upload sign is lighter blue than it usually is, indicating I can't upload.  Also, I can't create a new folder on the studio.

Navigate to the Files and click on the folder where you would like to upload the file. Then the arrow will change colour. 

Where you're trying to upload the file isn't a valid location so SAS won't allow that function.

I took a screenshot.  I was successful in creating another folder.  However, when I press upload the first time it doesn't upload the flat file.  Is it because it has txt. extension?

[Reeza]

You can't upload to sasuserv9.4 folder it's locked. Use a different folder.

Thats the only folder available 😕 . Should I use folder shortcuts instead?  How do I create a new folder.  sorry if this seems ridiculous.

[Reeza]

The first icon lets you create a new folder underneath there or right click the parent folder and right click (like the normal Windows interface).

ok thank you it worked now, I don't know why its so hard I'm trying to upload the txt. file and its not uploading into the new folder I just created!

[zhawasli1]

Do you kindly know?

[Reeza]

1. Make sure you click on the new folder before clicking upload
2. Make sure you're using a compatible browser, Chrome seems to work best (Safari doesn't work for me).

[zhawasli1]

ok just saw this sorry. thank you.

Concur with @Reeza regarding browsers. In Safari on the Mac, upload does not work (files can't be selected).

[zhawasli1]

I will try to download somewhere other than safari
.Thank you to both.\

[zhawasli1]

How am I supposed to upload a file then? I appreciate your help.

@Kurt_Bremser SAS Studio now warns you that's an unsupported browser at least 🙂
