How to access uploaded files?

Hi Fosan,

When you see the results of every individual student. You will see a URL under Answer Provided section, just paste this link in the browser address bar. The file will instantly open in the browser. Then Right-click on it and save it to your computer.

This is the fastest and easiest method for accessing files provided by students. Other way is you have to search the media folder for a specific file.

Hope this helped you.

Kind regards,
Kriti

Hi fosan,

Can you share the admin credentials of your website so that I can look into the issue. Make sure to set the message as private before sharing the credentials.

Hi all, I get the same emails too and see private excerpts, including the [email protected] reply!!!

The method I have used with QSM is to have the QSM team, ie Kriti or a developer to register themselves as a user on my website. Their role initially is a subscriber and I then promote them to admin. That way only that person registering knows the password for the accounts. Once the support is done the accounts could be disabled if required. This follows some basic security best practices.

Kriti, it would be better practice to provide a different method to transfer confidential information rather than use the forum. I can think of a couple. Or advise clients to do similar as I have done?

The other general problem with forums and I assume this one is no different is that all agents and admins of the forum have open access to “private” messages. So anyone in theory at QSM would be able to obtain private credentials. I may be wrong in this case.

Thanks
Tim

Hi Jacques and Tim, you guys are awesome! Thank you both for your honesty, integrity and support. I had no idea you two had Admin access to my site yet you chose to not abuse that access. I cannot thank you enough.

I teach English to international students at Australian universities. I also proofread their assignments on occasion with the various universities’ approvals. I am not a tech-minded person or a website developer, I built my website using ‘how-to’ Google searches and plugin searches. Lately, our teaching moved online because of COVID19 and I had to create an online exam so I bought the QSM plugin (but next week, like so many other such teachers, I’m losing my job because the international students have stopped flying in).

Anyway, the point of all this is that I’m not a website developer or a tech-minded person, you two inadvertently had access to my Admin details via this forum without my knowledge, and neither of you chose to abuse that access. It’s behaviour like this that restores my faith in humanity. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are good people.

Hi Kriti, as you know, I lodged completely new tickets and updated my password accordingly. However, moving forward, I agree with Tim that it would be better practice to provide a different method to transfer confidential information rather than using this forum. Maybe that’s something your team explore.

Thank you all,
Tony
