How to manage file view and download options for session slides

Is it possible to set the option to allow attendees to either view or download files on a per-session basis, especially for large files? How to handle large files that attendees can upload and view or download in sessions?

In Dryfta, you can configure the Download/View permission individually for each session, allowing you to choose whether attendees can view files inline or download them. However, this setting applies to the session as a whole; it is not possible to set it differently for individual slides within the same session.

For large files, attendees can upload files up to 700MB per single upload. Viewing large files inline in a browser is limited by browser capabilities and system memory; typically, browsers struggle to display files larger than 20MB inline. To handle large files, especially those exceeding 20MB, the recommended approach is to allow attendees to download the files and view them locally on their computers.

If the Download option is disabled and only viewing inline is allowed, files larger than 20MB cannot be viewed properly due to modern browsers' limitations. Therefore, to ensure large files are accessible, enabling the Download option at the session level is necessary.

In summary:
- You can set Download/View permissions per session.
- Slides inherit the session-level setting; individual slide settings are not available.
- Large files (up to 700MB) should be allowed to download to be accessible.
- Browsers limit inline viewing of large files, typically around 20MB maximum.
- If downloading is disabled, large files cannot be viewed inline effectively.
