File Galleries

The file galleries section of Tiki is a download manager. A file gallery is a collection of files. You can use file galleries to distribute free multimedia, (mp3's, podcasts), software (releases, patches, docs) and to hold files that users can download from Wiki pages, articles, or blog posts.

The file galleries tool allows you to create and edit galleries. You can use the Tiki permissions system to specify who can create galleries, upload files and download files. Statistics are kept of each download. You can produce stats for the most downloaded files, most visited file galleries and last uploaded files..
