File Operations

What can be done with a file once it is in the store — and is it tracked?

Files in the store are worked on in place: upload one or many, rename, move, copy, update, and delete — with the grant on each folder deciding who may do which. Folders compress into a single archive for handover, and documents export without leaving the store.

How it works

Every operation is a permissioned action, not a free-for-all. Uploading, renaming, moving, copying, updating, and deleting each answer to a distinct right on the grant that covers the file, so allowing a team to read a folder does not quietly allow it to reorganize one. Multi-file upload handles the batch cases — an audit’s worth of evidence in one action.

Getting documents out is as governed as putting them in. A set of files or a whole folder — children included — compresses into a single archive for download, and documents export to PDF, with tabular data available as CSV. Downloading and compressing are themselves rights on the grant.

Actions leave a trail. The store keeps a per-file log recording actions against the document with the user and time, readable from the file itself — so when a file was opened, changed, or moved is an answer, not an argument.

What is filed, and who reaches it

File Operations

  • Bulk upload

    Upload many files in one action — batch evidence and paperwork land together.

  • Per-action rights

    Rename, move, copy, delete, download, and compress are each separately grantable actions.

  • Archive a folder to one download

    Compress selected files or an entire folder, children included, into a single archive.

  • PDF and CSV export

    Documents render to PDF and tabular content exports to CSV from within the store.

  • Per-file activity log

    Actions against a file are recorded with user and time, and readable per file.
