Files

All files in FilingBox Team are provided with a read-only attribute by default, and only logged-in users can edit them in Edit/Access mode. To edit them, signed-in users must enable the Edit/Access mode in the File Explorer context menu. The context menu is available by right-clicking a file and selecting Change to/Open in Edit/Access mode.

While the Fake File mode is turned on, every file requested in the FilingBox Team will respond with fake content. To access and edit the actual content, logged-in users must enable the Access mode in the File Explorer context menu. The context menu is available by right-clicking a file and selecting Change to/Open in Access Mode.
