Upload links and Workspaces:
Upload links provide a convenient way to facilitate the direct upload of files to specific collections or workspaces within your DAM account.
Note: Upload Links allow people without a Canto account to share files to your Canto library. This is accomplished with a link that's sent via email.
Access Control:
Upload links allow you to control access to designated collections or workspaces, specifying whether users with the link can only upload files or have additional permissions like viewing or downloading existing assets.
Navigation:
Users can generate upload links within the Canto dashboard, typically found in the "Upload" section.
Create new Upload link as directed
Fill in the description for each page as required. When generating an upload link, you can configure permissions associated with it, ensuring that collaborators only have the necessary level of access.
Once an upload link is created, it can be easily shared with external collaborators. They can use the link to upload files directly to the specified location in your Canto account.
Workspace:
In Canto, upload links within workspaces offer a streamlined way to collaborate and collect files directly within a designated workspace. This
Workspace Focus:
Upload links first store the external uploads of content, then with the workspaces being specifically designed to facilitate file uploads directly into a designated workspace, providing a centralized area for collaboration amongst your team before finalisation and upload to the main library.
Navigate to the "Workspaces" section within your Canto dashboard as shown.
Create new Upload link as directed
Fill in the description for each page as required and organize the content by adding assets and structuring the workspace to the need of your requirements.
Content Intake:
The use of upload links within workspaces enables controlled content intake, ensuring that files are directly uploaded to a thematic area, contributing to a well-organized workspace structure.
Permissions Configuration:
Similar to upload links for collections, users can configure permissions associated with the workspace upload link. This includes specifying whether contributors can only upload files or have additional permissions such as viewing or downloading existing assets within the workspace.
