#065: filedepot


Listen Later

Module Link: http://drupal.org/project/filedepot The filedepot module allows you to upload files to Drupal as well as configure permissions, mark favorites, broadcast messages and even version files. (It has a Windows client too) Who: Technical users* (This is too generic, you'll have to listen to the podcast) When: Use this module when you want to allow users to upload files and create folders and need very fine grained permissions as well as versioning. Where: You can find your configuration options at admin/settings/filedepot and you can upload/modify files at /filedepot. I couldn't find any real CCK or WYSIWYG integration so /filedepot appears to be the only place you can access it from. Why: Drupal does need a strong file manager that works well remotely with a multi-user environment. This module is a half step in this direction. If it could provide good CCK and WYSIWYG integration this module could be the de facto file manger for Drupal.   Theme song "i dunno" by grapes. module-a-day_podcast-0065.mp3
