Files | Communifire Documentation

Communifire's file management system is sophisticated and flexible. You can upload files to spaces as well as to the top level community, and organize them into folders. In spaces, you can decide the actions different types of users are allowed to perform on files. You can give files properties such as a title, description, and tags, and upload new versions of files. All the versions you upload are kept in the system, and you can revert to previous versions at any time.
