Document folders
Accessing documents
We use Document Folders to share documents. Access to individual folders will be provided by the GMC Connect administrators as required.

Listed in this screen are the document folders that the GMC has shared with you.

Downloading a document
To download a document, click on the link within the Document Folder.
The time it takes to download a file will depend on the size of the file and the speed of your internet connection.

Uploading a document
To upload a file, click on the 'add document' button.


Click on upload.

Once uploaded, your document will be shown in the document folder.

Adding a new version of a document
If you need to add an updated version of a document, you should upload this as a separate document, naming it appropriately, e.g. version 2.
Removing a document
Documents that have been uploaded to GMC Connect are locked down so they cannot be removed or modified. If you accidentally upload a file into the wrong folder, contact the GMC Connect administrator, who can move the file for you.
