Managing Files

We want to make sure to offer a word of caution when it comes to deleting within your Paminga File Manager. Before you can delete a file we provide a danger message, to alert you that doing so will permanently delete the file, and could affect any emails or landing pages in which these files or images were placed. Please make sure this is an action you absolutely would like to take.
File Manager Helpful Hints
- You have two folders: Images & Assets. Images should be used for images & assets should be used for, well… everything else
- What is “everything else”? Things such as PDFs or zip files
- We do not recommend hosting videos in our asset manager. If you would like to leverage videos – hosting services such as YouTube, Wistia, and Vimeo are great options and also have a direct integration with Paminga
- Once you have uploaded an image to the File Manager & used it in an email – you should not move that image from its place in the File Manager. If you move the image, all emails and/or landing pages that leverage that image will be broken, as the path to the image will be changed by moving it
