How to Upload an Image file into Digital Hive as Author

Question

There are images that we would like to use during the creation of our Hives. As an Author, is there a way to upload the files to Digital Hive so that we don't have to connect to the File System or load the images into a Content Management system?

Answer

Images, and other files types, can be uploaded to Digital Hive. These images will be stored within the Digital Hive content store and will appear as part of the Digital Hive folder structure. As a Hive Author, access to the Explore Content widget will not be possible, so files must be uploaded using the Hive Designer.
  1. From within Digital Hive, click on the Hive Launcher  and select Open Designer
  2. On the left-hand side of the Designer, click on Files  to expose the folder browser
  3. Navigate to the desired folder location and then press the vertical ellipsis in the upper right corner of the folder browser  to expose the contextual menu
  4. Select the  option
  5. Using the native file explorer of the OS, select the desired file(s) to upload and press OK
  6. Once in the correct folder, click the ellipsis button
  7. Select Upload files
  8. Using the Operating Systems native file explorer, select the file(s) to be uploaded
  9. Press Open
  10. Once the file upload completes, selection of the file will be possible
