Files and Folders is a documentation and data sharing tool for business partners and customers - no need to navigate outside of VSM to a third party document sharing system.

  • It can be used to view auto-generated system content, such as schematics, backups or log files, as well as user-generated content. 
  • Business partners can specifically share content with selected customers.
  • Customer can share files with their business partner eg: wireshark file
    • customer uploaded files are automatically viewable by their business partner

Uploads to Files and Folders is free and unlimited.

Content is differentiated by three icons:


  • Automatic system-generated content, for example back ups, schematics or log files 

  • User generated content, for example documentation or software images
  • Shared content


Access Files and Folders under Service Desk → Files and Folders, or if you are a business partner administrator, under Administration → Files and Folders. 


To share a folder,  right-click on a folder and click share. Then select options for sharing.

Note: When a Customer level user uploads a file, by default it can be seen by their Business Partner.


Similar to other mainstream cloud documentation systems, shared content is visible in a ‘Shared with me‘ folder.
