What is the Files area?
The files area is a place for the group to upload and share files (documents, images, etc) with each other. Each group on ned.com has its own Files area and only members of a group can upload or change files in the group's Files area.
What can you do with the Files area?
You can upload reports, maps, illustrations, photos, or any other file that supports the work you are doing in the workspace or supports a comment you made in your group's discussion area.
Can I sort the list of files and folders?
The default order of the Files area is to show the latest-uploaded item on top. By clicking on any of the column headings in the Files area, you can sort the list based on the information in that column: file name, size, date uploaded or the name of the person who uploaded the file. To reverse the sort, simply click the column heading again.
| note: | When sorting by file name, all folders will appear at the top of the list, in alphabetical order, and then the individual files will be listed below the folders in alphabetical order. |

How do I move files?
After clicking the "move files" link, a new form will appear in the browser window with two columns, a source column and a destination column. The source column on the left shows the files and folders available to be moved. The destination column on the right shows all the folders available to receive moved files.
To move files and folders:
- check the box next to the item(s) in the source list
- select the radio button next to the destination folder
- click the "Move Files" button
When you've finished moving files, simply click the "I'm done with moving files" button to return to the Files area where you can upload files, create new folders, rename folders or delete folders.
The source list of files and folders is displayed based on the sort-order selected in the Files area. If you want to change the order of display in the source list, return to the Files area, click the column header by which you wish to sort the list, then click the "move files" link.
