Adding files

Categories, collections, uploading, thumbnails, and the fact that there are no file versions.

Last updated September 2, 2026

Categories then collections

Create a Category first, then Create Collection inside it. Give the collection a name and some Comments explaining what it is for — the comments are searchable, so they are worth writing.

Uploading

Drop files onto the uploader or click to browse. Any file type is accepted, and large files are uploaded in pieces automatically.

AN INTERRUPTED UPLOAD CANNOT BE RESUMED

If a large upload is cancelled or the connection drops, it has to start again from the beginning. Upload big files on a stable connection, and do not close the tab while the progress bar is running.

External links

A collection can also hold External Assets — a link to something hosted elsewhere, with its own thumbnail. Useful for a video, or a supplier's own download page.

Thumbnails

Common images, PDFs and Office documents get a thumbnail automatically. Very large PDFs are skipped. If one is missing, Fix Thumbnail has another go.

There are no versions

RE-UPLOADING A FILE ADDS A SECOND COPY

There is no "replace this file" and no version history. Uploading an updated price list with the same name leaves both copies in the collection, and tribes will download whichever they happen to click. Delete the old one yourself, and put the date or version in the filename so it is obvious which is current.

Moving things

You cannot change a collection's category by editing it — use the bulk Move to Category action instead. Files can be moved between collections the same way, as long as the two collections are different.

Deleting is permanent

DELETING A CATEGORY DELETES EVERY COLLECTION INSIDE IT

The confirmation only asks about the category, but everything filed under it goes too — collections, files, the lot, with no way back. Move the collections out first if you only meant to tidy up the category list.
