I'm used to working with GetSimple flatfile cms but recently revisited Bludit.

I've been very pleasantly surprised, it's a nice cms.

My question is:

There doesn't appear to be a file uploads area where users can upload their files/images and then reference them at a later date.

Is there a method of storing files for use at a later date?

I am used to being able to upload images at home and then at a later date (while on site at a different location) continuing editing a web page and inserting images from the files location.

Hope this makes sense.

Many thanks

You can do it with the plugin Media. But this is at the moment not available. It will be back during this week.

You can do it also manually (but without creating thumbnails). You can upload the images with FTP to the directory /bl-content/uploads and use its path in the editor.

Thanks for the reply.

I thought FTP might be the main option.
Was just thinking it it from a clients perspective and wanted a more simplistic user journey.

Thanks
