Week 8: File management

Work on the project has transitioned into handling uploaded files. Since surveyors will have both a data form and ultrasonic recordings, the intention is to save these files on a server using a file naming scheme that is easily searchable. I have yet to receive a sample recording to understand what I will be working with exactly, but I have been told that the files are quite large, and can expand into sizes over a gigabyte. This would require a large server just to maintain a record of audio recordings. Thankfully magnetic drives are getting cheaper, so getting a few terabytes wouldn't be too much of an issue. As of now, I am able to upload and rename files as desired to a folder. Looking forward to checking out some data samples this week.
