Learn how to share files in a share pod during Adobe Connect session.

Hosts and presenters can upload files to share with meeting attendees from their computers or the Content Library. Participants cannot upload files unless a host changes a participant’s status. Participants who want to upload files can request a host to change their attendee role or grant enhanced rights for the File Share pod.

Note:

Adobe Connect administrators can change pod, sharing, and other settings to adhere to governance standards. These configurations impact the layouts of meeting rooms and the activities permitted within them. For more information, view Working with compliance and control settings.

Upload a file

  1. If you do not have a Share pod in your meeting room, click Share > Add New Share from the title bar.

  2. In the new Share pod, either drag-and-drop your file or browse your computer using the File Explorer. Navigate to the file, and click Open.

    Note:

    The maximum size of a file that you can share using the File Share pod is 102.4 MB. Currently, you cannot share files that exceed this size limit.

Download a file

Meeting attendees can download files from the File Share pod to their computers.

  1. In the File Share pod, select the files to download.
  2. Click Save as.

    A browser window opens with the Save to My Computer dialog box. (If this window does not appear, adjust the browser’s pop-up blocker settings.)

  3. Click the Click to Download link.

  4. Click Download. Navigate to the desired location, and click Save.

  5. When the downloading process is complete, click Close.

  6. Close the browser window that opened in step 2.

Download all files

To quickly download multiple files, meeting attendees can download all files simultaneously from the File Share pod, instead of downloading one by one.

  1. In the upper-right corner of the File Share pod, click the menu options  .

  2. Click Download All.

    A browser window opens with the Save to My Computer dialog box. (If this window does not appear, adjust the browser’s pop-up blocker settings.)

  3. Click the Click to Download link.

  4. Click Save. Navigate to the desired location, and again click Save.

  5. When the downloading process is complete, click Close.

  6. Close the browser window that opened in step 2.

If you are using the HTML client, choose Download All after clicking the Menu icon. The shared files are downloaded as a ZIP file.

Rename a file

This operation changes only the label that appears in the File Share pod; it doesn’t change the actual filename.

  1. In the File Share pod, select the file that you want to rename.
  2. In the upper-right corner of the pod, click the menu options  .

  3. From the pop‑up menu, select Rename Selected.

  4. Type the new name, and click OK.

Remove a file

  1. In the File Share pod, select the file that you want to remove.
  2. In the upper-right corner of the pod, click the menu options  .

  3. From the pop‑up menu, select Remove Selected.
