Permissions

You can specify whether the Files feature is available on your group’s website and, if it is, who can view and upload files. From the Permissions list in the Files section of the panel, select the option you want to use:

• Members can view files, create folders, and upload files

  All members in the group can view files, create new folders, and upload files.

• Members can view and upload files, but not create folders

  Members can view and upload files, but only moderators can create new folders.

• Members can view files, moderators can create folders and upload files

  Members can view files, but only moderators can create new folders and upload files.

• Members cannot view files, moderators can create folders and upload files

  Members cannot see files; only moderators can create new folders and upload files.

• Files are disabled

  The Files feature is not available in the group.

Allow Photos In Files

If the group uses the Files feature, you can specify whether photos can be uploaded to the Files section (as opposed to restricting them to the Photos section). If you want to allow photos to be uploaded to the Files section, select the Allow Photos in Files checkbox.

Photos uploaded to the Files section are not subject to image size restrictions that might be set for photos uploaded to the Photos section. However, they do not have thumbnails like they would in the Photos section.
