MeXX has an integrated file management with versioning. In MeXX itself, only references to files are stored. The actual files are stored in a protected server directory. The files are accessed via the MeXX FileService running on the server. If the user wants to open or edit a file, it is retrieved from the server and stored temporarily in the local working directory.

The file functions are available in MeXX, as well as in the MeXX Office extensions.

Files can be inserted into MeXX using various methods.

Insert: File
Like other elements, existing files and folders can be added to a structure using the “Insert” function (context menu of an element).

Add: File
New files and folders can also be added to a structure using the “Add” function (context menu of an element). For files, the template dialog opens from which the desired file template can be selected.

Drag & Drop
Files and folders can be inserted into MeXX using the “Drag & Drop” function.

The file datasheet displays detailed information about a file, like: file name, size, creation date, modification date, full file name.
