Using "Files"

You can use "Files" to upload and manage asset relevant files. You can access "Files" in Asset Manager via the menu of a selected asset. In the "Files" section, you can upload files, list all files of an asset or delete them one-by-one, in a bulk operation or by using "File deletion rules". Files are stored at the specified path on your asset, similar to the file system on your computer. The path starts with "/" as the root folder on your asset. Files can be structured and stored in sub-folders like "/myFolder1/mySubFolder1".
