| Size of one file | 25 MB |
| Files per report | 10 |

What is accepted
Common document, image, audio and video types. The file extension is checked against the file's actual content. Executables, archives, HTML and SVG are refused because they can carry active content.
What happens to a file
- The file is checked and scanned.
- A fingerprint of it is recorded.
- It is encrypted at rest.
- A chain-of-custody entry records the upload.
Tip. Remind reporters that photos and documents can contain hidden details such as author names and locations. Reporters who want to stay anonymous should remove such details first.
