\label{Portfolio_About}
The portfolio \index{portfolio} allows you to store and retrieve files. There are two main purpose of using a portfolio; to upload documents that could then be submitted in response to an essay/drop box/task and to upload documents that can be shared. By storing in the portfolio space of lon-capa you can access these files from any location with an internet/web connection.
Every student user on the LON-CAPA system has a quota of 20 MB of portfolio space. Each file the student add reduces the quota. However, portfolio submitted files can be modified by the grader and then uploaded back to the student, this will apear as a new 'version' of the file for the student but does not count against their quota.
To use the portfolio to store files you must first create directories (\ref{Portfolio_CreateDirectory}) and subdirectories. After creating the directory that you need to enter the directory (\ref{Portfolio_ChangeDirectory}) and upload the file (\ref{Portfolio_AddFiles}) to the current directory.
To use the portfolio to retrieve file, find the directory that contains the file then click on the file name (\ref{Portfolio_OpenFile}). The file that you wanted will be downloaded to your computer.
You can also share your files by changing the file permissions (\ref{Portfolio_ShareFile}). You can also find/read other people's shared files by typing going to the other person's about me page (http://server/adm/domain/user/aboutme/portfolio).
Also see:
\textbf{Deleting File} (\ref{Portfolio_DeleteFile}), \textbf{Renaming File} (\ref{Portfolio_RenameFile}), and \textbf{The file list} (\ref{Portfolio_FileList}).
