I've provided permissions to a specific Security Role to add documents, but where will the user go to actually upload the file itself, if they are non-admin?  Maybe this isn't possible?

Thanks for the help!

Does anyone have a solution for this? I have the same situation and would also like to keep the documents in sub folders instead of all of them piling up at the root.

If the user has edit permissions to the documents module they can do it via the Add Document page, they simply select "Upload" then the control will update to allow them to upload a file.

I have two follow up questions:

1) I used a very old version of document module; its behavior is very different from this one. Can you clarify the differences between repository module, and the document module? When (what conditions) should I apply them?

2) I want to store my documents in different location, e.g. f:\stuff directory. How would I do that? It sets to the root, and limits to certain type of files, e.g. gif, jpg, etc., but not doc file nor txt file. How can I change that? It always sets to the relative path; how can I change it to absolute path?

Thank you very much for your help.

The repository would allow you to store files outside of the DNN installation if I recall correctly, the documents module will ONLY store files inside the Portals folder.

The file types are specified as a host setting for allowed file types.
