Hello Chris,

Currently we don't have ACL on the shared media folder. By default, if you do not use the media manager to upload, everything goes into your own directory which is the "My Media" folder.

Some things they are uploading are going to "Shared " I'll try and find specifics. What I'd like is to have the ability to put things like logos etc in shared media that is read only to everyone else .

Hello Chris,

The concept of a shared media is where everyone could collaborative manage the shared folder. At least this is what we are doing here on our end but I guess if you have an author that is not part of the organization, it gets tricky.

Hi Mark, thats fine, but the problem is they are accidnetly uploading things in there, and it is becoming full of things, and if delete those files now it will break those blog posts?

So I have to leave all the files in there forever( ?)

I dont mine if its colaborative, if they only put actual shared files in there, but with no way to move the files from "Shared" to "This post", it will get messy.

Hello Chris,

Yes, if they have uploaded it into the "Shared Media", then you will need to verify with your writers but perhaps you would want to turn off shared media from the settings > media section to prevent confusions?
