I just got the trial version working and evaluating document uploads. It does not look like the editor takes into account any of the view/write permissions setup in the DNN File Manager. I created a user with only write permission in 1 sub-folder and view in a few other but when I click on the 'Downloadable Files' icon I can see all folders within the portal as well as upload to them. The only difference between an Admin account and a registered user is when a registered user uploads a document 'member_' is prepended to the file name.
Is this the extent of control over file upload/accesability? Not saying its a deal breaker I just want to know if I need to look any further into this issue and have been unable to find any definitive documentation.
