File Vault Overview
The File Vault is where you manage the storage of assets for the account. This is typically the best place for an Administrator or Content Manager to upload files into the account. Only Content Managers and Administrators can see the Folders Panel.
You will find two kinds of containers in the File Vault: Folders and Organizers. Folders are the foundation of your storage, they contain files and other folders. Every file in your account lives in a Folder. Organizers contain folders. You can think of an Organizer as a drawer in a filing cabinet, while Folders are the file folders inside the drawer.
You can organize these any way you want, just like folders on your computer. This includes moving them around, renaming them and building folder trees.
Folder
Folders are the foundation of your storage, they contain files and other folders. Every file in your account lives in a Folder, all assets are uploaded directly into Folders. When you click on a folder you’ll see the upload icon at the top of the window, and when you're selected on an organizer you don't get the upload icon.
Organizer
To aid in visual organization, we’ve added Organizers as a way for Administrators or Content Managers to further categorize their top-level view. Assets cannot be uploaded directly into Organizers, they are for visual organization only.
Group Storage Organizer
When you make a Group you have the option of creating a Group Storage Folder. Group Content Managers have control over this folder.
Group Uploads Folder
When a Group member uploads a file as part of a Group Contribution Request the file will be stored in the Group Uploads Folder inside of the Group Storage Organizer.
Lightbox Uploads Storage
When a Mediagraph user uploads directly to a Lightbox the file will be stored in a Folder named for the user that lives inside of the Lightbox Uploads Storage Organizer.
Refresh Button
This will ONLY refresh the File Vault panel. This is sometimes needed to force an update after a bulk action or after rearranging Folders.
