<p class="my-4">
<b>Q</b>: Is there a limit on file upload size through the web interface?<br/>
<b>A</b>: Yes, the limit is 10 GB. If you need to upload huge files you have to ask the admins for SSH access to a dedicated transfer node. The admins will start the so-called storage procedure at the end of which the data will be available via web interface. During the storage procedure leaf directories containing more then 2000 files are converted in .tar files. You can use <a href="https://owncloud.ia2.inaf.it/index.php/s/V9ydu3NDXAIHWJ8/download">this Bash script</a> to perform a check on your files before to upload them.
<b>Q</b>: Are there any restrictions on allowed characters for file/folder names?<br/>
<b>A</b>: Yes, the following characters are not allowed for file/folder names: [ ] &lt; &gt; ? \ / " : | ' ` *

<b>Q</b>: A file/folder icon is marked with an X and there is no download link. What does this mean?<br/>
<b>A</b>: It means that the file/folder is not in place and cannot be directly downloaded, it has to be "recalled" first. This can be done by selecting the file/folder checkbox, clicking on the <i>Actions</i> dropdown menu at the top of the page and then on <i>Async recall</i>. This action will start an asynchronous job to recall the file/folder and made it available for download.

<b>Q</b>: Can I share a file/folder with other users?<br/>
<b>A</b>: VOSpace specification implements file sharing by using the properties <code>groupread</code> and <code>groupwrite</code>, so there is no concept of sharing a file with a specific user, there are always groups involved. Anyway, file sharing services usually provide a mechanism to share a file with single users, so our UI implements it. Just click on the 3-dots dropdown menu on the right of your file/folder and then on <i>Share</i>. On the modal window you can choose and add the users/groups to share the file/folder with. A simple demo is shown here below.

<b>Q</b>: Where can I find the VOSpace specification?<br/>
