To upload data via the web interface:
1.Click the Upload button in the form, as shown below.

5. When uploading a zip file, users have the option to uncompress before import.

Note for MacOS users: the default MacOS archiver generates hidden folders that become visible in openBIS upon unarchive. To avoid this there are two options:
- Zip using the following command on the command-line: zip -r folder-name.zip folder-name -x “*.DS_Store”
- Use an external archiver (e.g. Stuffit Deluxe).
