Uploads and imports

Prepare files before upload or import

Clean up names and context before adding files so imported information is easier to understand later.

Before you upload or import, make the source material easier to understand. Clear file names and a small set of related files usually work better than a large unsorted folder.

Only include information you want Nastalgic to use. Remove personal details that do not belong in the memory space.

  • Rename files so the topic and date are obvious.
  • Keep one topic per batch when possible.
  • Remove private or unrelated pages before uploading a document.

Uploads and imports

If an import looks incomplete

Check the source file, timing, and visible results before contacting support for import help.

An incomplete import can come from a damaged file, unclear formatting, a long processing wait, or a difference between what was uploaded and what you expected to see.

Do not send the whole file to support unless they ask for it. Start with the file type, approximate size, time of upload, and a description of what looks missing.

  • Open the original file and confirm the missing information is visible there.
  • Refresh the Nastalgic page after a short wait.
  • Email support with the file type, upload time, and what result you expected.

Upload privacy and file safety

Decide what not to upload and how to reduce unnecessary private details in source files.

A good upload contains enough context to be useful and no more private information than the purpose requires. Review files before adding them to a memory space.

If you are unsure whether a file belongs in Nastalgic, pause and ask support for guidance before uploading it.

  • Remove pages, columns, or notes that are unrelated to the memory space.
  • Avoid uploading documents that contain payment numbers, passwords, or recovery codes.
  • Use the privacy and data page when you need help with data questions.
