Uploading Files to TMB Data Gateway

Once you have obtained a unique TMB Data Gateway link (URL) and authorization from appropriate TMB Staff, follow the instructions below to upload and deliver your files. The file size limit is 1.5GB, but you can upload multiple files (one at a time) using the same link.

End User Limitations

• Your browser must support HTML5
• The upload file size is limited to 1.5 GB

Instructions for Uploading Files

• Locate and organize the files you wish to deliver before beginning upload.
  • Do the filenames tell you what the file is? Use “intelligent” filenames.
  • Remember, you can use the URL over and over, but you can only upload one file at a time.
  • If you have a large number of files to upload, you should compress them into one single .zip file.
  • Are any of your files too large? The limit is 1.5 GB.
• In the email provided to you by TMB staff, click the TMB Data Gateway URL. If clicking the link in the email from TMB fails to launch your browser automatically, you can copy the URL from the email, paste it into your browser and press Enter.
