Working with Default Metadata

Default is a special metadata set that is automatically associated with every File Object when it is created, copied, uploaded, etc. 

  • For already existing File Objects it will be associated when the file or folder is accessed for the first time.

  • Exactly one Default Set exists in FileCloud - it cannot be deleted, but administrators can customize attributes and permissions or disable it.

  • Out of the box it is shipped with a single predefined attribute of Array type - Tags.
