Description
This function is specially designed so that the administrator of an Application can share files with the users of his application individually and privately.
This could be an excellent option for a multitude of cases, some examples could be:
- Management App
The App Administrator (The Management) could easily add all types of files (images, PDFs, videos, etc...) with the specific documentation of each of their clients, and clients could access from the App a private section for them where they would find all their documentation.
- Law Firm App
The App Administrator (The Law Firm) could easily add all types of files (images, PDFs, videos, etc...) with the specific documentation of each of their clients, and clients could access from the App a private section for them where they would find all their documentation.
- Personal Trainer App
The App Administrator (The Personal Trainer) could easily add all types of files (images, PDFs, videos, etc...) with the workouts, tables or exercises for each of their clients, and the clients could access from the App a private section for them where they would find their personalized workouts.
- Clinic App
The App Administrator (The Clinic) could easily add all types of files (images, PDFs, videos, etc...) with the History information of each of their clients, and clients could access from the App a private section for them where they would find their Clinical History.
Characteristics
- The App administrator will be able to share files with a specific user.
- The administrator can also enable or disable a user.

Configuration
Below you will find 5 configuration tabs:
Users tab
In this tab, you can see the list of all users who are registered in the application and you can easily activate or deactivate access for each of the users to this Files section.
States:
- Activated: This means that the user will have access to view files that have been uploaded for them in this section.
- Disabled: This means that the user will NOT have access to view files that have been uploaded for them in this section.
From here we will jump to the "Settings" tab
Settings tab
In this tab we will have to complete the following information:
- Are new users enabled by default?
By default, all users have the Files section disabled. If you want users, after registering in the App, to have access to this section by default, then you must check the YES option
Next we will have to create the different types of files that we are going to upload so that the user knows what type of file it is:
- File type name: Here we must name the file type (Example: JPG, PNG, PDF, MP3, MP4,...)
- File type icon: Here we must upload a representative image of that type of file that we have defined.
You can add as many types of files as you want.
Next we will go to the Files tab
From this tab you can create Folders and upload files for each user.
To begin, you must select the user to whom you want to upload files in their private area from the drop-down menu and press the blue "Manage" button.
Then, in the Folder List section, click on the blue "Add a Folder" button
Next, a pop-up window will appear in which you must name that Folder, then press the "Save" button
