Upload files on Koha server

   Upload files on Koha server Koha allows you to upload digital files e.g. PDF, text, image, video, etc. on the Koha server. All the uploaded files will be stored in the internal directory of Koha, and files can be retrieved from the staff interface as well as on OPAC.  Configuration First I recommend creating categories to upload the files. If you don't want to create more categories, even you can create only one that will contain all the files.  While uploading the new file you need to select the category otherwise your upload is marked as  temporary  and will be removed when your server restarts.  To start this process, you need to add new authorized values to the  "Upload".
