Manage Files and Shared Links

Shared files and links can be seen and used by any member of the group or landscape where they are uploaded. Users can take different actions depending on their role and whether they are the file owner.

Actions and roles

The person who uploads a file is the file owner.

Any map that has been made with this file in the group or landscape will also be deleted. Only the owner of a file, or the manager of the group or landscape where it is shared, can delete the file.

Note: Terraso Story Maps does not currently support updating files (e.g., updating a visualization by changing the map file driving it). For the time being, delete a file and upload another one to replace it.
