About this demo
To test the frontend functionalities use any of the users on the Quick login buttons. Share files, test downloads, upload files if needed.
In order to keep it clean, the Demo Site resets itself every hour; that could unlog you (it is not a bug in the component).
For ADMIN functionalities go here and login as demoadmin.
Briefcase Factory is the only Joomla equivalent for Yahoo's Briefcase - A new approach to document and file sharing.
The user interface is intuitive and uses AJAX for several operations, therefore no page reloads to slow down your work. You can ADD more than one file at a time; number can be set in admin backend. The uploaded Files can be SHARED with one user, more than one user, all users, or with the public (registered and unregistered users).

Users can Upload their Files and share them with other users or with specific assigned User groups. This way you can manage an easy to administrate Document sharing system that features email notifications, limited download times (for instance you can make some limited offers, and bind users to your website)
There is the possibility to use categories and a folder structure (virtual folder - the files are stored differently in the hosting) - this way users can keep their files organized and share specific folders to users or groups of their choice.
There is special integration with Community Builder - we provide a Community Builder Pack that includes several CB-Plugins that allow you to include Briefcase Factory in the CB Profile of the user.
If you uploaded some files in the wrong folder you can always MOVE them as you please. Files can be assigned to several Categories (configurable in the admin backend) and the category can also be changed after the upload. Create Folders where you like, even folder in folder.
Files Shared for Me by other users are accesible under a separte area and there is also a separate area for Public Shared Files, where any visitor can view or download files.
Logged on as administrator you can access ALL the Files uploaded by all users on your system. You can search after certain terms or filter one particular user. Any file can be deleted, renamed or you can change it's Category.
