Introducing new file folders on the Files and My Work pages!

In this release, we’ve added more options to organize and manage project and personal files, as well as the ability to organize your files into folders and subfolders. We’ve also added a Files page to the My Work area, so you can manage your own personal files in addition to project files. Also added are folder security permissions that give you more control over your files than ever before.

Manage personal files on your My Work page, too!

There is a Files page added to the My Work area, so you can now manage personal files as well. Files you’ve uploaded to your My Work Files page, or files added to a non-project task, will appear here. This addition lets you centralize personal files, so you always have access to the files you need.

Create folders and subfolders

You can create folders by clicking the “New Folder” button on the Files page. You can create as many folders as you want. To better organize files, you can create subfolders. You can create folders and subfolders for departments, types of projects and more.

Drag and drop files on the Files page

You can now drag and drop files directly to the Files page to upload files faster than ever fore. In addition, you can drag and drop files into folders and subfolders for easier file management.

Share files on tasks, or by email

ProjectManager understands that files need to be shared easily and quickly. To share a file with another user, click the “Share” button. Once shared, the recipient will receive an in-app notification and email with a link to the file.

Secure, confidential files with advanced permissions

There are now optional security permissions that restrict or give user access to folders. This way, you can choose who has access to a file folder for extra security. You can easily restrict access to certain users to keep certain folders confidential. Any user (except Collaborators) can restrict access to a folder.
