Lock File

One of the great collaborative features in Binfire’s file manager is the ability to lock files. If you are working on a document with a group of people and don’t want your collogues to start changing the document while you are working on it, you can lock the file. This way everybody knows who is working on a document at any time. To lock a file, click on the inverted arrow to the right of the file and select ‘Lock’ from the drop-down menu. In addition to this, every time you download a file the application asks you if you want to lock the file. After you are done with editing the document, upload a new version and the lock is removed. You can also unlock a file manually by pressing again on the inverted arrow and selecting ‘Unlock’.
