SchoolAI lets you upload your own files — handbooks, lesson materials, rubrics, etc. — to give the AI more context to draw from. You can do this while building a Space, using an Assistant or Tool, or chatting in a Space session. Here's what to know about file size limits and how much context to upload for the best results.
File size limits by plan
Each time you upload files (in Dot, the Space creator, an Assistant, or a Tool), the combined size of the files in that upload must fall within your plan's limit. There's no limit on how many files you select at once. The app checks your plan and will let you know if you go over.
Plan | Limit per file |
Free | 10MB total |
Pro Trial, Pro, and Scale | 50MB total |
You can repeat the upload flow multiple times to attach more files to the same Space or conversation (as long as each upload batch stays within the limits above).
Can I upload as many files as I want?
Yes, there's no limit on the number of files. What matters is size: the files in each upload must add up to your plan's limit (10MB on Free, 50MB on Pro Trial, Pro, and Scale). If you need to add more, you can upload again to the same Space or conversation. But keep in mind that more isn't always better.
You can add as much context as you need, but as the amount of context increases, especially across many large files, AI responses may become less targeted or precise. This is a limitation of AI models in general (not just ours) — the more you ask the AI to hold onto at once, the harder it is for it to consistently reference all of it.
Where you can upload from
When you upload files, you can choose from one or more of these sources:
Your device
Google Drive
Box
Dropbox
OneDrive
A URL, using Import from Link
Tips for getting the best results
Keep uploads relevant. Attach the files and information most relevant to what you want the AI to do. More context isn't always better, and large amounts of unrelated content can make responses less targeted.
Be selective with very large documents. You can upload full documents, but if you only need the AI to work with one chapter or section, providing just that content can help it focus on what matters.
Be specific in your prompt. Tell the AI which file, section, topic, or information you want it to use. This becomes especially helpful when you've attached multiple files.
Check important results. For tasks where accuracy matters, verify that the response reflects the source material. If it misses something, point the AI toward the relevant file or section.
