Filedrop

Filedrop allows privileged site or OG Group managers to attach a "Filedrop" to entities. Once attached, users with permission see a file upload form on the given entity, or a link to the file if they've already uploaded.

Once files have been uploaded by users, the user that attached the Filedrop can see a simple list of users and their files. This module was created for student groups to submit files to the instructor securely, ensuring that teachers can quickly see who has done what, and to download work as needed.

Installation notes

• The uploaded file directory is secured with Apache .htaccess, therefore this module may not act appropriately for servers other than Apache
• After enabling the module, visit settings/admin/filedrop to set your preferred allowed file types to be uploaded
• Then edit the content type you wish to enable filedrop on and see the "Filedrop" section near the bottom to enable

Status

This module is set for maintenance and bug fixes only and is unlikely to get much in the way of new features. Good, minimal feature patches are welcome. As we currently have no use for a D7 version of this module, we are open to requests to create and co-maintain a D7 branch, see #1299716: Port to D7. For views integration, see #1299802: Improve views integration
