Importing Gbox files

File upload using GBox

GBox is a software that allows users to transfer large volumes of data quickly using software technology without the need for additional plugins such as ActiveX (https://www.kobic.re.kr/kobic/analysis/download)

1. Run GBox and log in with the K-BDS account. If GBox is not available, install it before proceeding

2. Move to the folder on user’s PC containing the files to upload through [File Explorer] or [File Browser]

3. After selecting the folder or file to upload in [File Explorer], right-click (Upload) or drag it to [GBox Explorer] to upload the data ※ Only one folder should be applied per submission ※ Create sub-folders in GBox: Make sub-folders by right-click (New > Folder) in [GBox Explorer] and double-click to move into it

Considerations when using GBox for file transfer error (upload and download)

• A transfer error may occur if there are special characters other than spaces, Korean, underscores (_), hyphens (-), or periods (.) in the full path, including the file name

• Transfer error may occur due to speed differences when transferring from external hard drives of USB paths

• Transfer error may occur in the case of empty files of 0B

• Transfer error may occur in cases of other problems with the files themselves such as damaged files

1. After the data is uploaded, the upload progress can be checked in the Progress window. Once the upload is completed, the uploaded files or folders will appear in [GBox Explorer]
