Upload and share
Moss is a social document management and sharing platform based on Web3, through which any files uploaded by users are stored on IPFS/Arweave through 4EVERLAND. You can find detailed information regarding this in the previous section's "Features".
Uploading and sharing files on Moss is as easy as it is on traditional cloud storage platforms:
Log in to Moss, go to "My Moss", and click the "+ NEW" button at the top right. Then select "New Folder".
