The Files webpart or the file browser in Panorama can be used to upload any additional supplementary files that you may want to make available with your data on Panorama Public. To add a Files webpart
In the file browser you will see a "RawFiles" folder. This folder is automatically created for every "Panorama" type folder. This is the folder where raw files associated with Skyline documents should be uploaded. The Raw Data tab provides a view into this folder. Look at [Upload Raw Data] for more details. In the file browser you should also see the Skyline documents (.sky.zip files) that were uploaded to the folder.

Files and folders can be uploaded by selecting them on your computer and then dragging and dropping them on top of the file browser. It may be a little hard for viewers to locate supplementary files in the default view of the file browser if there are multiple Skyline documents uploaded to the folder.
