Uploading files

You can add files to OneSVD by dropping them into the watched directory on disk, or by uploading through the web UI. The UI handles large files gracefully.

From the browser#

Drag files onto the window, or use the upload control. Folders upload with their structure intact.

You don't need the web UI#

The web UI is a convenience, not a requirement. Because the watcher monitors the data directory directly, any file that lands in the watched directory is picked up and fingerprinted — no matter how it got there. On a local node you can skip the browser entirely and move files with the tools you already use:

scp ./build.tar.gz user@node:/path/to/watched-dir/

The moment the transfer completes, the watcher hashes the file and the tree updates — the same as a drag-and-drop upload. cp, mv, rsync, a build script writing output, or an scp from another machine all work identically. The UI just gives you a view of what the watcher already sees.

Resumable uploads#

Files above a size threshold upload in chunks. Each chunk is hashed and sent in sequence, and progress is tracked — so if your connection drops or you refresh the page, the upload resumes where it left off rather than starting over.
