Schoolwires File Size Recomendations:
  • Schoolwires recommends that files be no larger that 100 KB
  • PDF files larger than 100 KB should be split into smaller documents.
  • Files up to 10 MB can be uploaded to the files and folders, but larger files may cause the system to freeze.
  • Use compressed file formats whenever possible, especially for video & music. 
    • MP3s and WMA are compressed, WAV files are not compressed.
    • Podcast pages can use MP3 or WAV - try to convert to MP3.
    • Try to keep audio less than 4 MB
  • When uploading video, think of the users connection speed - keep videos short and the resolution small if possible.
  • Photo Gallery - automatically resized and compresses pictures to 500 pixels.  Try to limit your gallery to less than 25 pictures.
 
Files & Folders:
All of the documents uploaded to schoolwires are stored in your own Files & Folders section.  Delete unused or old files regularly.
