Uploading assets
If you have contributor access to your Dash, you can upload assets. You can upload assets from your desktop, Google Drive or Dropbox. You can also do a bulk import if you need to import a lot of assets.
Simply click the "+ Add files" button at the top-right of your Dash to add files.
Read this article to learn more about how to upload.
Searching in Dash
Searching in Dash isn't just limited to file names or folder names. Assets are tagged automatically with helpful terms and any other custom information the uploader has added. You can search any of these terms in Dash to locate the file you need.
Browsing and filtering your results
Once you've run an initial search, you'll land on the Browse page where you can browse your results. Click 'Filter' in the top left-hand corner to expand the filter bar, where you can narrow down your search based on the folder, orientation, file type and any other custom fields in your Dash.
Viewing an asset
Click a thumbnail on the Browse page to view an asset. On the left-hand side, we can preview the asset, and on the right-hand side, we can see all of the searchable information stored against the asset.
Downloading assets
To download an asset, click the download icon on the left-hand preview. You can choose to download the original file, convert it to JPG, PNG or WEBP and resize your asset. You can choose any of the custom preset sizes your admins have set up, or choose from any of the social media sizes. The custom download option lets you choose your own crop and image size to download.
Sharing an asset
To create a quick share link to an asset, click on the share icon on the left-hand preview. You can choose if you want your share link to expire in 1 day, 7 days or 30 days. Either enter your recipient's email address or simply copy the share link to share outside of Dash.
Using collections
A collection lets you group assets from across your Dash. They are a way of gathering together assets to help you with your work, such as:
Collating assets for a press release
Sharing project assets with an external agency
Collaborating with colleagues
Sharing documentation with your customers
To add an asset to a collection, click the 'Add to collection' icon from the left-hand preview. You can create a new collection here.
You can view your collections on the Browse page. Click on the collections icon, and the name of the collection you would like to view. When viewing a collection, you can invite other users to collaborate on your collection or create a share link of your collection to send to external users.
But that's not all!

All these features can be set up by an admin of your account.
