Introduction

When you upload a file to censhare, a new asset is created from this file. censhare stores the file as Master file in the asset.

The asset type is created according to the MIME type mappings that are configured in your system. The default mappings comprise image formats (PNG, JPG, TIFF, etc.), office documents (MS Word, MS Excel, MS Powerpoint), and many other formats. If a MIME type mapping exists for the file that you upload, censhare automatically selects the corresponding asset type.
