  1. Name
  2. Email address

  

File Management

Here are the various features needed for file management:

• File Dashboard: This will contain the various files associated with a user account. The files should be displayed as tiles within a grid. The files should be organized in descending order of upload date, i.e. latest file first. For every file the following details should be displayed:
  1. Name (include extension), e.g. “big_win.pdf”
  2. Upload date: This is the date on which the file has been uploaded. The date should be presented in the format of “ ” (e.g. 23 May 2018).
• File Upload: A user should be able to click a button which will display a file uploader in the browser and select a file they would like to upload. A user should be able to upload one file at a time.
• File Download: A user should be able to click on the download action next to every file to download the associated file.
• File Share: A user should be able to turn on public sharing of a file using a “ON/OFF” toggle control. Once public sharing is turned on, then a unique URL should be made available next to the toggle button which is publically accessible. The user shouldn’t be able to delete or share this file.
• File Deletion: A user should be able to click on the delete action next to every file to delete the associated file.

File Sharing

There should be a stand-alone page for a shared file.
