What is the files module and it's application?

I see we have files upload etc module. What is it and how this application used by members?

I don't use it but, I think it is used for sharing files with other members. Files like .PDF, .DOC, etc.

OK I see. So I could documents on my site that my friends can down onto their computer? Or view? Can  the admin control what a member can allow to view?

So if member A joins the site, can Admin decide what member A can share with member B OR only member A decide what he wants member B to see?

1. Yes
2. No, download only
3. No, download only and it's up to the one who uploaded the file to decide who can download it

Some of the available download options include everyone, friends only, and the uploader only.

Where are these options?

They're presented to the user when either uploading or editing a file.

Thanks, on another topic I know you have vast knowledge.
