Mobile uploading

Mobile uploading

Portfolio includes the ability to upload assets from iOS and Android™ mobile devices.

Click Global Settings then click Mobile to configure uploading.

Select Enable Mobile Uploading to allow mobile users to upload assets to Portfolio.

In order for your users to use the mobile upload feature, they need to install the Portfolio Flow™ app on their iOS or Android device, available from the App Store™ or Google Play™ store.

To disable uploading, deselect the option. This will not affect any assets that have already been uploaded.

Uploaded assets are saved in a folder that you specify. Portfolio needs to have read/write access to this folder.

The Mobile Uploads folder

To change the Mobile Uploads folder:

  1. Click Global Settings, then click Mobile.

  2. Click Change.

  3. Browse to the desired folder, then click Select.

    Select a folder on a drive with enough free space to accommodate the upload activity that you expect.

    The folder that you select must be read/write accessible to the Portfolio server.

The Mobile Uploads catalog

Portfolio can create a catalog named Mobile Uploads that “watches” the upload folder. New uploads will automatically be added to this catalog.

The Catalog Administrator for the Mobile Uploads catalog can assign users to the catalog in the usual way. See Catalog access.
