How do I share Files & Photos?

Updated over a month ago

You can use the Files section under Communications to share images and files with your organization. Your organization can create folders to store anything you like, by any category, topic, or organizational manner you prefer.

Types of folders

1. Hub folders - will be marked with this icon:

Note: With the June 2025 release, hubs migrated to lists. The existing hub folders will remain intact, along with their files. Only Admins can access these folders, but you can still share public file links to be viewed by anyone with the link.

2. "Regular Folders" - will be marked with this icon:

  • Regular folders are visible to anyone who can log in to your Giveback site.

  • Only Organization Admins can create folders or add files to these folders.

Note: Images and files attached to a message are stored in a folder titled Messaging Images that is only visible to Organization Admins. While the file may appear to look like it is a public folder, only Organization Admins can see the folder.

Storing Files & Photos

  • Files can be stored in Folders or directly in your Home folder.

  • Files can only be accessed by admins.

  1. To add an image or file, navigate to the folder the file should be stored in or click Add Folder and enter the name of the folder.

  2. Click Add File.

  3. Choose whether a shared link to the file is Public or not.

  4. Choosing False in the selection list will require the user to log in to Givebacks, and they will only have access to the file if they have access to the Folder in which it is stored.

  5. Choosing True in the selection list will allow the file to be publicly accessible without logging in to Givebacks.

  6. The Public setting can be changed after uploading the file by editing the File Properties.
