Copy Files/Photos

OBJECTIVE

To copy a File or Photo, as well as entire Albums or Folders, to a new location within ConstructionOnline while still keeping it in the original location.

BACKGROUND

ConstructionOnline cloud file management gives you and your team unlimited storage and access to project documents from anywhere.  It also offers multiple ways to share files and photos. Give your Team access to important Albums & Folders by copying them to other locations within ConstructionOnline.  With ConstructionOnline, this task is made exponentially easier, allowing you to keep your entire team up to speed and on track. 

THINGS TO CONSIDER

  • Copying an Album/Folder copies the file as is at the time of sharing, meaning any new File or Image added to it will not be visible in copied locations. To send an exact copy of the current Album/Folder that will  continually update when new Files & Images are added, try Share Albums/Folders to the Portal.
  • Copying a private Album/Folder will make its visibility Public in the copied location.
  • Only Administrators and Company Users with permission to Upload and Edit Files and Photos can copy folders/albums.
