BIMCloud Basic library management

Where could we find more information about library management in BIMcloud Basic? I am in the process of upgrading our BIMServer to BIMcloud, moving all projects is tedious and not very smart and right now I would say it's not working.
I have tried to upload the .lcf library directly to the new server and I get an "Invalid file format" warning.
I have loaded the AC project, removed all BIMServed libraries and added the new BIMcloud libraries via the menu. Except that now I get "Missing library parts" even if the library is loaded.

Here is a screenshot with the libraries loaded from the BIMcloud, notice the missing objects.

And here's a screenshot with the same project with the libraries loaded form the BIMserver, no missing objects (ignore the attributes)

And ... I found the source of the problem: not enough space on the server drive. Had to remove a few backups and reload the libraries.

Sorry to spam this thread, admin feel free to remove it.
thank you

No worries, running out of free space is a key learning - it can cause many sorts of problems. Thank you for posting the solution.

In the following article we collected the changes with regards to BIMcloud (ex BIM Server) libraries.

I am having the same issue, trying to upload a library to BimCloud and getting the "invalid file format" error message. However the library I'm trying to upload is 20 megs, so I doubt drive capacity is the issue. The file is from a furniture manufacturer and appears to have been made in 2016. Is it possible the library needs to be updated to Archicad 22 to work with our BimCloud Basic? I have no issues importing the .lcf into a project and using the content...it just won't upload to BimCloud.

Is there a process for upgrading a library container file from one version of Archicad to another?
