Files#

File management and abstraction is provided by the silverstripe/assets. This provides the basis for the storage of all non-static files and resources usable by a Silverstripe CMS web application.

By default the File has these characteristics:

• A default permission model based on folder hierarchy.
• Versioning of files, including the ability to draft modifications to files and subsequently publish them.
• Physical protection of both unpublished and secured files, allowing restricted access as needed.
• An abstract storage based on the flysystem library, which can be substituted for any other backend.
• Can be embedded into any HTML field via shortcodes.
