各 Question : appears twice in one sentence

ファイルを自アップロードする必要がある。

Why do we use かく twice in this example? :slight_smile:

How does 自 change the meaning when used?

From what I understood (I might be wrong though), 各ファイル - Each file. This is following the 各 (prefix) + Noun pattern taught in this lesson.
各自アップロードする - Here, 各自 is an adverbial noun, meaning “individually”, i.e. this part of the sentence means “upload individually”.

Combining the two parts: 各ファイルを各自アップロードする implies “upload each file individually”.

This makes sense! I agree I think I’ll think about them separately for now :slight_smile:

Thanks for your time
