File Management

Project files are one shared bin for everyone on the crew. Visitors do not see this tab. Anyone who can contribute can upload, rename, move, and delete. Treat other people’s files as carefully as your own.

1. Open the file manager

Open a project you belong to. That is a project you started, or one that accepted your application. Choose Files in the project tabs. If Files is missing, you are not on that crew yet.

The page is the current folder. The path at the top is how you climb back out. New folder, Upload, and the display control sit above the files. The grid can show large tiles, small tiles, or a list.

2. Add your first file

  1. Stay in the top folder unless the team already has a place this file belongs.
  2. Choose Upload and pick a file from your computer. You can pick more than one.
  3. The file appears in the folder you had open. Its name is the name it had on your computer.
  4. Click the name to open or download it. Everyone else on the project can do the same.

3. Edit the name

Editing a file here means renaming it, not changing the contents. Open the ••• menu on the file and choose Rename. The dialog asks for the new name. Use a name the rest of the crew will understand. Download is in the same menu if you need a copy before you change anything.

4. Move it

  1. Choose New folder if you need a place for it. Name the folder, then open it from the grid.
  2. Go back to the file. From its ••• menu, choose Move and pick the destination folder.
  3. You can also drag the file onto a folder. Dragging onto the path at the top moves it up a level.

To move several files, use the cursor button to select them, then Actions, then Move.

5. Delete it

From the ••• menu, choose Delete. The dialog asks you to confirm. Deleting a folder removes that folder and everything inside it. The same action is available after you select several files.

This space belongs to the whole crew

Anything you upload is visible to the project, and anyone on the crew can rename, move, or delete it. Don’t sabotage the team’s work. Leave files you did not upload alone unless someone asked you to organize them. Check the name and the folder before you delete, and never delete a folder just to tidy up if you have not looked inside it.

A portfolio piece is your own page. A project file is the crew’s working copy. Put shared work here, and keep personal samples on your portfolio.
