Saved files

Saving a file keeps it in your client account. Your team then opens the same copy instead of passing files around.

Save a file

1. Sign in at app.binbox.ai and load your data file.
2. Open the Settings and data menu at the top right and choose Save to BInbox.

A message shows the progress, then ends with, for example: “Saved sales.csv to Northwind as version 3 of Sales.”

• The file becomes the next version of its dataset. The dataset is named by the file’s setup, or else by the file’s name. Its setup is saved with it.
• Large files go up in pieces. If the connection drops, the upload carries on from where it stopped.
• Saving needs the author, admin or owner role. For a viewer, Save to BInbox is greyed out.
• Saving never replaces an earlier version. Every version stays, so a report can always be rebuilt from the file it was made from.

What viewers see

Viewers see only the files that have been shared with them. If nothing is shared yet, the list says so.
