File Handling

In Coscine a few typical usecases exist regarding files.

Under the subcategories you can find information how to realise your usecase and get hints.

• selecting
• downloading
• sharing
• uploading
• deleting

While archiving is a typical usecase, this is not done on file- but on resource level. See archiving for resources.

Files and Folders

Files in coscine are individual entities of data in a specific file format, which then is saved at a path. Folders in coscine are just the path. They do not exist as individual entities. Their sole function is offering a name for extending the path to group files together, e.g.: ../myFolderName/File1.png and ../myFolderName/File2.png

When it comes to folders, keep in mind the best practices regarding versioning
