Starter Edition is now available for just $39/month

Hello, I came across a Facebook post from Dec 9, 2024 promoting a new Starter Edition for $39/month. But I cannot locate it anywhere in the pricing tab. Was it only a limited time offer? Thank you!

Change Account Email

Hello, I am wondering how I can change my account’s email address. The one I originally used will no longer be valid at the end of this year as it is my student university email. I put a lot of work into my account and would like to change the email so that I can continue to access my files.Thank you.

Unable to find folder containing files of different formats on home screen

Hi, folks. I am a fledgling newbie who just started the Starter Training. I uploaded the folder containing files of different formats to Preservica, from my Files Explorer. But I can’t view the folder on my home screen afterward. What must I do to view that folder on the home screen? Thanks!

Maximum Size for uploading audio files

Is there a maximum size for uploading individual audio files?I have Starter-Plus. I’ve been “humming along” uploading individual oral histories in MP3 formats and then adding the metadata.I tried uploading one audio file over 150 MB. I received an error message during the Browser upload stage. It read “The file upload failed. Try again later.” The error message disappeared from the screen a few seconds later. The error appeared nearly immediately after I tried to upload the file. It was like the system didn’t even try.I logged out. Logged back in and still received the same message. I’ve waited an hour. Tried again. Still received the error message.Any ideas - what is happening? Is the file too large? Is there a way to fix this without breaking up the file into smaller chunks?I have a few more files that are just as large. So I’d like to try and find a solution quickly.Thanks!

Session expired boots

Does anyone know why I am routinely getting kicked out as “session expired” after approx. an hour when I am in the middle of working. I have been renaming and captioning large image banks and it routinely happens when I am halfway through typing a sentence. It’s getting annoying!Is this because I am using a starter edition at the moment - I am intending to upgrade when I hit 5GB but don’t want to see this as an issue constantly when I want to work for more than an hour at a time.Thanks

Security tag question on Starter

Hi,On the tutorials I watched prior to beginning Starter, I thought I saw that folders as well as individual assets within the folders, could be set to private or public. When adding a folder and choosing the security tag, I see closed, open and public. I also see that individual assets within folders can be set the same way.Can someone help with the specific meanings of those? What exactly is open and closed? And do all the assets within a folder need to be set at the same security tag as the folder itself? Or is it possible to have a folder where some assets are public and some are not? I have assets that I want to be visible to users of the password-protected portal/website. I have assets that I do NOT want to be visible to users of the password-protected portal/website. I do NOT have assets I want visible to the unlimited public. How would I set the security tags of the folders and assets for those 3 types? Thank you!Kara

Amount of Gigabyte

Hello, I am using the Free Starter Edition, which I understood to provide 5GB of storage. But I my dashboard says: 0.72GB / 1.01GB - Does this represent the amount I have ingested versus what is available for my account? I also notice it says 1GB on the pricing package page. Apologies if I am simply not understanding this correctly. Thank you so much!

Making Folder Public: Free Starter Package

Hello, I created a folder in Starter and ingested image files by dragging them in to the folder. I set the Folder to “public,” but the folder contents themselves did not become "public.” I needed to set them individually to public which does not seem correct. Is this because I am using the free Starter program? Thank you!
