File Upload

Snorbe allows you to upload files such as PDF, Excel, and PowerPoint to enhance your research. By incorporating internal documents and past reports, you can conduct deeper analysis combined with external information.

Supported File Formats

PDF, Word (.doc/.docx), CSV, Excel (.xls/.xlsx), PowerPoint (.ppt/.pptx)

Text

Text (.txt), HTML (.html), Markdown (.md), XML (.xml)

Images

JPEG (.jpg/.jpeg), PNG (.png)
File Size Limits: Images up to 5MB, other files up to 50MB. Maximum 10 files can be uploaded simultaneously.

Two Usage Methods

There are two ways to upload files. Choose the method that best suits your needs.

Temporary Attachment: For Current Conversation Only

This method allows you to attach files directly from the chat interface. Uploaded files are only referenced within that specific conversation thread. Once the conversation ends, the file reference also ends. This is ideal when you have materials you want to use only for your current research.

Permanent Save: Accumulate in Knowledge Base

This method saves files to your knowledge base. A knowledge base is like your personal information library. Once saved, files can be searched and referenced at any time. This is ideal when you want to use the same materials repeatedly in the future.

Decision Criteria

You may be unsure which method to choose. Use the following table as a guide.
Usage MethodBest ForNot Recommended For
Temporary AttachmentOne-time research, exploratory analysisOngoing projects, team sharing
Permanent SaveRegular reference, use across multiple projectsDisposable materials
To be more specific, use temporary attachment when you only need it “right now,” and consider permanent save when you want to “search for it later” or “might use it in other research.”

Benefits

Uploading internal documents provides the following benefits:

Integration of Internal and External Information

Combine internal reports with public information to gain deeper insights.

Reuse of Past Research

Materials accumulated in the knowledge base can be utilized in other research.

Improved Search Efficiency

Quickly find the information you need by file name or content.

Consistent Analysis

Analyze the same materials from multiple perspectives to discover contradictions or gaps.

Common Use Cases

What types of files should you upload? Here are some examples:

Research & Development

  • Past experiment reports (PDF)
  • Competitor product specifications (Excel)
  • Conference presentation materials (PowerPoint)

New Business Development

  • Market research reports (PDF)
  • Business plan drafts (PowerPoint)
  • Competitor comparison tables (Excel)

Planning & Marketing

  • Customer survey results (Excel)
  • Press releases (PDF)
  • Campaign proposals (PowerPoint)

Technical Research

  • Patent research reports (PDF)
  • Technology roadmaps (Excel)
  • Product development proposals (PowerPoint)

Tip: When using this feature for the first time, we recommend starting with temporary attachment. Once you’re comfortable with the functionality, you can save necessary materials to the knowledge base.
