Uses
Store and manage data/digital assets on a Drupal website
Users of FolderShare may create, edit and organize a folder tree with files and folders that are managed by the website. Users may upload files into folders, move, copy, duplicate, add description, rename, search, delete, and download files and folders.
File sharing from a Drupal website
By default, users have exclusive access to their files and folders (i.e. everything is private), but they may elect to share folder trees with specific users and allow them to View and Edit (Author) their folder content. Additionally, users may elect to make their folders/files public.
