File access

All files in FilingBox SMB are provided with a read-only attribute by default, and only logged-in users can edit them in Access mode. To edit them, signed-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 Access mode or Edit in Access mode.
