File Repository Management

User and Guest Accounts have the option to upload files for sharing/distribution to Attendees.

File Repository Overview

A File Repository is associated with each Admin and Organizer account to upload and store assets such as slides, videos, PDFs, and images prior to or during their live Events. Additionally, Administrators can add files to a Portal-level File Repository, available to Portal Account Users: Administrators and Organizers. Guest Presenters and Moderators can upload Event materials via the Moderator Console.

Note: Access to Portal-level files is not available to Guest Presenters and Moderators.
