Uploading Files and Downloading Reports

When you start to upload or download a file, the operating system dialog box displays directories. Local Disk (C:) points to a directory on the computer hosting the solution. You cannot upload or download from this directory. Use the directories under the Quick Access section of the dialog box to upload and download files.
