Uploading assets

All users in DAC have the ability to upload assets to the DAC. If you’ve taken a great photo or video, we’d love to see it and potentially use it to help promote the company.

It is the responsibility of the uploader to:

  • Ensure the asset(s) are appropriate for business use and that the owner of the assets can provide the required permission for it to be used.
  • Provide accurate metadata such as its location, names of any people, the owner’s name and permission and country of origin.

How to upload

The DAC offers two methods of uploading files:

The Upload button (arrow icon)

  • Select the Upload button (upward facing arrow) located in the upper right corner of the DAC home screen

  • To edit data fields, click the small pencil icon to the right, type in or select relevant metadata and Save (see the Edit metadata guide for further instructions on editing asset data)

Drag and drop to upload
