You can manage files inside your local repository folder (on your server's hard drive) or connect to other storage adapters (see below).
FileGator has multi-user support so you can have admins and other users managing files with different access permissions, roles and home folders.
All basic file operations are supported: copy, move, rename, edit, create, delete, preview, zip, unzip, download, upload.
