DCP Files App is one of the standard features on DCP. It helps to organize & managed your files on DCP Web interface.

You can access your DCP files with the DCP Web interface and create, preview (photos & pdf only), edit, delete, share, and re-share files. Your DCP administrator has the option to disable these features, so if any of them are missing on your system ask your server administrator.

You can create your own folders that are accessible by you only or you can share them with others as example below, an Annual Dinner folder has been created and is shared with Atikah.

You can also decide what rights / privilege to grant to other users, in the same example to Atikah, whether she is allowed to edit, create, delete, reshare and so on as seen below. You are in control.

You can share files and folders via public links.

A random 15-digit token will be created. The link will look like https://cloud.example.com/s/yxcFKRWBJqYYzp4.

A number of options are available for public folder shares:

• Read only to allow viewing and downloading
• * * Allow upload and editing* *
• With * * File drop* *, the sharee can only upload files to a folder without seeing the files that are already in that folder.

Select the file to be shared as link with others and click the share icon

A side menu opens and click the + sign next to the “Share link” to create link

A share link has been created and you may copy the created link to share with others

Before copying & sending the link to the other party, you can set certain set of rules & privileges such as: allow editing, hide download, password protect and etc as seen from the screenshot below.

Likewise, a whole folder can also be shared with others, if within a folder, contains a number of files which would be tiresome to share each file, one by one.

You can assign tags to files. To create tags, open a file to the Details view. Then type your tags. To enter more than one tag press the return key after creating each tag. All tags are system tags and are shared by all users on your DCP.

Then use the Tags filter on the left sidebar to filter files by tags.

Use the Details view to add and read comments on any file or folder. Comments are visible to everyone who has access to the file.

You can play videos in DCP with the Video Player app by simply clicking on the file. Video streaming by the native DCP video player depends on your Web browser and the video format. If your DCP administrator has enabled video streaming, and it doesn’t work in your Web browser, it may be a browser issue.

The DCP thumbnail system generates previews of files for all DCP apps that display files, such as Files and Gallery.

The following image shows some examples of previews of various file types.

By default, DCP can generate previews for the following filetypes:

• Images files
• Cover of MP3 files
• Text documents

Notes:
Technically DCP can also generate the previews of other file types such as PDF, SVG or various office documents. Due to security concerns those providers have been disabled by default and are considered unsupported. While those providers are still available, we discourage enabling them, and they are not documented.
