Uploading your Godot project files for support

To help you, we sometimes need to open and investigate your project files directly in Godot. For that, we need you to compress your project as a ZIP file and upload and share the file with us.
In this guide, you will learn:
  1. How to create a ZIP file of your project.
  2. How to upload the ZIP file to a free file sharing service and share the download link with us.
What is a ZIP file?
A ZIP file is a compressed copy of multiple files and folders brought together into a single file. It's a common way to distribute files over the internet because it reduces the total file size and makes it easier to share.

How to create a ZIP file

You can quickly zip your workbook project from the Godot editor:
  • Open the project where you're having issues in Godot
  • Go to ProjectPack Project as Zip...
  • Navigate to the folder you want to save the ZIP file in and click Save
Godot will automatically create a shareable copy of your project ready for us to investigate.
Next, you need to upload the ZIP file to a file-sharing service and share the download link with us.

Uploading and sharing the file

Once you've created the ZIP file, you need to upload it somewhere before you can share the download link with us. Currently, you need to upload it to a free file-sharing website.
Here are some free and private options:
These services allow you to upload files without creating an account; but the files expire.
Some options require you to create accounts, such as:
In those cases, the files don't expire unless you manually remove them (except for WeTransfer, which expires after 7 days).
All options are good, just make sure to set the expiration date to at least 24 hours, so we have enough time to download the file.
