Overview
The redesigned File Manager in INGENIOUS.BUILD streamlines document organization and sharing by consolidating all files into one view, enabling bulk actions, improving upload feedback, and enhancing file security for more efficient collaboration.
Process
Access Project Documents
Navigate to your project menu and select Documents.
This opens the File Manager, where you’ll see all drives, both your own and the company drive, in one unified view.
Add Drives or Folders
Use the options in the upper-right corner to:
Add New Drive: Create a dedicated space for specific folders or files.
Upload Documents: Add a folder or files to an existing drive.
Search, Filter, and Bulk Actions
Use the search to quickly locate drives.
Select multiple drives to perform bulk actions such as:
Download
Archive (replaces deletion for safer handling)
Archiving Files
Instead of deleting files, use the Archive option.
Archived files are preserved and can be restored later.
This ensures important data is never accidentally lost.
Improved Upload Experience
Files are automatically scanned for viruses.
Uploads include clear feedback, including progress indicators and any errors that may occur.
Sharing Files
By default, newly created drives are private. To share drives:
Click the + icon below Shared With next to the Drive.
Adjust permissions as needed.
Click Save.
