Add top-level personal or shared File Exchange folders

You can add a File Exchange folder to a client's portal that they can use to upload documents to your firm. You can also create personal and shared File Exchange folders and give individual users or groups of users access to the folders. All NetClient CS users can upload files to personal File Exchange folders. If you give NetClient CS users full access to shared File Exchange folders, they can upload files to, delete files from, and delete subfolders from those folders.

Your firm administrator and NetStaff CS users who have access to both File Exchange and NetClient CS administration can upload files to shared and personal folders through their NetStaff CS user portals.
