is there a way to put more than 40 attachments on your wiki? i am needing to do this but don't know how. 4  out of 4 found this valuable. Do you?

In addition to unlimited numbers of attachments, we want to add attachments larger than 2 MB. We use PowerPoints and reports that are nearly 10 MB. Without this feature, our education site becomes pointless and we might as well find another service. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

/agree

Im a secondary school teacher who has spent a fair few hours setting up a wetpaint wiki for use in my school - when i get to adding hte attachments i want to... i hit the 40 limit.... this is a deal breaker for me - i cannot see that ill be able to use the wetpaint service to make a functioning wiki for my school science depertment without more space for attachments..

Is there any option for a paid for service to allow i much higher limit?

after alot of research into this - (and no response to emails sent to wetpaint) I have to draw the conclusion that there is no way to use wetpaint for building a Wiki for my educational establishment - the limit of 40 files is (whilst understandable) a complete roadblock to this being usable for my educational establishment. I have tried to ustilise 3rd party applications and file stores - but they all contain advertisments which makes using thier services inappropriate for use in the educational field.

The ability to request add free wikis is what enticed me into spending time in building this site in the first place - however it seems all my work is for nothing as i cannot use the site to host any meaningful amount of data.

:(

What have you tried as far as third party hosting services? If you are sharing Word, Excel, or PowerPoint files, you can upload them to Google Docs, make them public and link them into your site. Also http://www.drop.io allows for you to upload 100MB of files and link to them as well. You might want to also consider just buying some web space of your own. That's what I did. I upload them to my own server and then can link them anywhere I want them to go. I can change them, delete them, etc. I have full control over my files which is what I want. Let me know what you have tried and maybe I can help. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?
