Lotus Connections

Files is a new personal file-sharing service that is part of Lotus Connections 2.5. You can use Files to:

• Upload files and share them with others
• Tag files so that they're easy to find
• Add recommendations and comments
• Reduce inbox "bloat"

Files provides a convenient way to share documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and other types of files with people without the need to send large files through e-mail.

With the new file sharing service, you can:

• Upload files and share them with others as readers or editors
• Choose to share files with selected individuals, groups and communities, or make them public
• View sharing properties, such as who has shared a file and with whom, people who have downloaded files
• Manage versions of a file, and allow others to upload new versions of a file
• Tag files to make them easy to find
• Recommend and comment on files
• Locate files by searching for text in the title or body of the file
• Sort files alphabetically by their name, the most recent first, the number of downloads, or by size
• Organize files in public or private collections
