Personal tools: File Hub
As of Release 19, a file hub is available in OpenOlat as a global file browser, in which all folders available in OpenOlat are listed. (Course folders, group folders, archive folders, etc.)
However, only folders to which the person logged in has access authorization are displayed in the File Hub.
Features of the File Hub
- Multi-file upload via drag & drop
- If files are transferred to another location in the File Hub, they are copied in each case.
(In contrast to the Media Center, where logos, terms and conditions, etc. are centrally managed, updated and made available to all authors. This is why the files are linked there). - Only folders in the File Hub to which the person currently logged in has access permissions are displayed.
