This article explains how users can upload and create files and folders in Foxit DMS, including supported file types and where content is stored.
What is File Creation and Management?

- File size limit: Up to 50 GB per file
Creating Files and Folders
- "+ New" button: Click + New to create a new folder or a blank Office document (Word, Excel, or PowerPoint). Newly created Office files can be opened and edited in the corresponding Microsoft 365 Online editor.
