Please be restrained regarding your uploading behaviour and think first if it is really necessary to upload a file or not. There are other ways to incorporate content without uploading a document. For example, you can link to the file available on the internet or you can try to include the file content in an article (BUT please make sure to quote correctly in order to avoid plagiarism).
