Description

Purpose

Allows users to add a file folder to the Web site. The folder and its files added are displayed in the user home page Files tab.

Limitations

The Enable User Files property must be enabled on the User Files page to use the Add User Folder widget.

When added, the folder and the files placed in it appear on the user's home page Files tab. However, for this tab to appear, it must be enabled in the Site - User Navigation widget. If the Files tab is not enabled, you can navigate to the page directly (as an admin) at <site name>/members/<member name>/files/default.aspx, ex. http://evo2.org/telligentevolution/members/admin/files/default.aspx.
