I am benchmarking from someone elses board, and the documents they have in there show an option to open source file. Whether I drag and drop, or use the upload option, my files seem to be stored on Miro instead of linked to the source. Am I doing something wrong?

Uploading documents
Best answer by Marina
This is expected behaviour, I’m afraid. I hope that uploading via the toolbar is convenient enough and you will use it to have a link to the source 
+5Hey
Seems that your colleagues upload documents from cloud storages (Google Drive, OneDrive). In your case, you seem to upload the documents form the device.
Do Google Drive or OneDrive work for you?
I am actually using OneDrive. The difference is that if I drop it in Miro using drag and drop, Miro acts like the document repository and doesn’t actually link to my file. I have to click on Upload>One Drive>file. Then it will upload it and keep the dependency link to be able to refresh.

+5Mmm, the article says it can accept PDF but when I try it just says ‘Something went wrong’. It’s a single page invoice, less than 200kb.
It opened the file upload dialogue OK, I could select the file, it just failed to upload.
Not sure what to make of that.
+5I’m afraid this is a support question. Will you please reach out to the Support team at support@miro.com?
