GroupMAN allows each list to maintain a repository of shared files. Request any of the files in the repository by simply sending an email to the list or request a catalog of all the available files. GroupMAN's sophisticated file repository allows files to be added, requested, updated and deleted through simple email requests. Configure the repository to allow anyone to update repository files or only allow the original poster the ability to update the file.
