    • A folder can be deleted by clicking the () button next to the folder name, in the main window.

      • The open icon () lets you open the corresponding file in a separate window. 
      • The floppy disk icon () lets you download a copy of the corresponding file and save it on your hard drive.
      • To change the file's state, click on the padlock icon in the Action column. Files can be locked by a user so no one else can upload it and overwrite its contents. However, you can still download it and open it on your computer. Locked files have a red padlock icon () in the State column; unlocked files have a green padlock ().
    • To delete a file, check the box next to the file, then click on "Delete checked item(s)".

  • The Attach a File group is used to add files to the selected folder.
    • To Attach a file, click the "Browse..." button to reach your file. If you know the location of your file, you can type it directly in the Path field.
    • You can type in a description for the file.
    • The "Version" field is used to keep track of different iterations of the same file.
      • If two identical files have different versions, AceProject will treat them as separate items.
      • To overwrite a file, use the same file name and version.
      • If the file is unlocked, uploading it with the same version will overwrite the existing file on the server.
    • Files can be locked or unlocked by a user. Locking a file ensures no one will makes changes to it except the person who has locked the file and the Administrator. Leave the file unlocked if you don't plan to modify it.
      • You cannot upload a file that is already on the server and locked. You need to unlock the file on the server first, then upload it from your computer to the server.
    • You can use the "Multiple File Upload" drop down menu if you want to upload more than one file at a time. Up to 15 files can be uploaded simultaneously.
      • Files of any size can be uploaded, as long as your account's storage space limit is not exceeded.
    • Click "Upload File" to transfer the file(s) into the project folder.
    • Click the "Notify project assigned users" link to display the list of assigned users for this project.
      • Check the user(s) you wish to notify about the file(s) you are about to upload.
