I want to upload files in HoloLens with Windows Device Portal. According to the documentation on using the Windows Device Portal, I should be able to "Use the file explorer to browse, upload, and download files". Nevertheless, in the File Explorer section of Windows Device Portal, I can't see any option to upload files, but I can only browse or download files. Can anyone give a hint on how to upload files?

Please aware that not all folders have the file uploading permission, not sure which folder path you are accessing. As a test, if you go to the Documents folder, normally you should see the Upload button as below:
If you really can't see the button, you can check the following things:
The HoloLens OS version and browser. We have ever seen the compatibility issue on several browsers running previous HoloLens OS version, I would suggest you trying Microsoft Edge and upgrading OS to the latest version. Check out this release note
Policy Restriction on Device. Some group policy may impose restrictions on device, you may need to check with IT team in this case.

I'm using WindowsAPICodePack to collect metadata properties of a video file. Here is the github repo. internally it returns all the objects as you perform right click on file and see details information and properties. See below screenshot.
I can retrieve all the properties in my windows 10 machine. I expect the same behaviour on windows server 2012 r2 machine. The left side of image is contains properties from windows server and right side contains properties from windows 10 os. I'm unable to find anything relevant? What windows feature do I need to enable from windows server 2012 r2?
I was able to get all those properties after enabling desktop experience as shown in this tutorial. Initially windows server can not play video files. this feature adds video streaming facility and extra features that comes with Windows server essential media pack
There is one more library available if you don't want to install Windows Server essential mediapack. Here is the link and https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo
I am trying to use AppCenter to distribute my app to iOS beta testers.
I have included the nuget packages for Microsoft.AppCenter and Microsoft.AppCenter.Distribute
I followed the developer.xamarin instructions for creating an IPA
An IPA did not appear in the Bin > iOS Device > Ad Hoc (or Release) folder as expected. An application (.exe) file was created.
This is most likely the area I need help on.
In AppCenter I selected Distribute and got to the Upload a Build screen, I could not find an IPA file on my computer.
when pressing the Where Can I Find my IPA file? link, I was transferred to https://openapi.appcenter.ms/, which I didn't understand how to use to find the file. Perhaps this link is incorrect or someone can tell me how to use these apis to find the file?
I have never connected my Windows Visual Studio Xamarin to a Mac. LivePlayer on an iPhone works beautifully. I was hoping to get to be able to distribute my app without using a physical Mac.
Thank you for any help. If you can point me towards other tutorials on setting up and using AppCenter to distribute to iPhone beta users, I would appreciate it.
To order generate an .ipa file for distribution a Mac needs to be involved in the build process.
If you do not have access to a Mac for local development and the application source code is located in a git repository hosted in GitHub, BitBucket, or Visual Studio Team Services, then you can link App Center to the git repository and configure App Center to perform the build for distribution purposes.
I have made a hybrid app using jquery mobile and now I want to open few docs such as pdf,pptx etc.which are already included in project on a button click. I have the liberty to open it inside as well as outside the app. Ouside the app will be feasible I guess as device can then take care of opening. I want to install app in iOS, windows and android device. Any help would be appreciated.
#user2621561, you can achieve your requirement by using Cordova file, file transfer and file opener plugin. If the file is available in server, first you got to download the file using file transfer plugin and store it in device using file plugin and then you can open the file using file opener plugin. Have tested this approach in iOS and android, it works. Not tested in windows though.
I am refering to following article.

[ I am using Win8, VS2012 ]
I have a .VHD file that contains OS and other softwares installed. I would like to use this .VHD into Azure to create a new Virtual Machine. Hence i am refering to above article.
Problem #1: Even after installing Azure SDK for Vs2012 , I could not find CSUpload.exe on my PC. I wonder why its not installed. - any clue.
Problem #2. Since CSUpload.exe was not found, I was just looking into VS2012 and found that i can connect to Azure using "Server Explorer" and there i was able to upload .VHD into storage area, that i created as explained in above article.
BUT
after uploading .VHD file, from Azure manager, when i try to create a new virtual Machine, I am not able to find my newly uploaded .VHD in the list of Gallery, that as per article should appear in the "My Images" or "My Disk" list.
Any clue, what can be wrong. ?

I just checked in SDK 2.3 and csupload.exe is missing from bin directory. Though it is present in v 2.2. May be they deprecated this application in the latest version. You could try uninstalling the latest version and install version 2.2. Once 2.2 is installed, you will find csupload in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Azure\.NET SDK\v2.2\bin directory.

In order for you to create a VM from a VHD file, the file must be uploaded as a Page blob. Files uploaded via Visual Studio Server Explorer are saved as Block blob. You may want to try and use another tool which supports uploading files as page blobs. Do take a look at AzCopy (I haven't tried it personally but I think it supports uploading page blobs).
You can at least use the PowerShell module for Azure for this, the cmdlet is Add-AzureVMImage. Cmdlet documentation at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn495163.aspx.
I am wondering if there is a way to upload a high number of files(.txt)/images(.jpg) to wp8 isolated storage?
Currentley i am working on a project inside a school wich will not give me the ability to download any extra SDKs.
We are running visual studio 2012 and in order for the project to work we will need to read from many *.txt files. The files have already been created so i dont want to have to recreate them in code
Also, is there a different method for uploading files to the isolated storage in the VS2012 phone emulator compared to the actual phone?
You have Isolage Storage Explorer Tool, that is a command line tool to access phone/emulator internal storage.
