Uploading Files & Folders (with User Notifications)

📤 Uploading Files & Folders (with User Notifications)
 

Ontraccr makes it easy to upload both files and folders into your file storage system. You can even notify specific users when new files are added — so no one misses an update.

➕ How to Add a New Folder

1. Navigate to any location in your file system
2. Click Add Folder (top-right corner)
3. Enter a name for your folder and click Save
4. You can now upload files into this folder or configure permissions

📁 How to Upload Files

1. Go to the folder where you want to upload
2. Click Add File (top-right corner)
3. Either:
   • Drag and drop your file directly into the upload area
   • Or click the upload box to browse your computer and select a file
4. Click Save to complete the upload

📣 Notifying Users (Optional)

Before saving, you’ll see a checkbox labeled Notify users.

• ✅ If selected: Everyone who has permission to view the folder will receive an email notification about the uploaded file(s)
• ❌ If unselected: The file uploads silently, with no notifications sent

💡 Tip: Use this to instantly alert stakeholders when new project files, drawings, or documents are available.

🔐 Reminder: Permissions Still Apply

Users will only receive a notification if:

• They already have permission to view the folder
• And you’ve checked the Notify users box

📌 Example: If you upload new site drawings to a private project folder and forget to grant access, users won’t be able to view the files — even if they get an email.

🧾 Summary

• Use the Add Folder and Add File buttons to build your file structure
• You can drag and drop or browse files from your device
• Use the Notify users checkbox to trigger instant email updates
• Uploads respect existing permissions — only authorized users will be notified or able to view
