Files can be uploaded to database with File control from user interface or can be created with scripting environment $Files object.
Accessing to a File
Unique file id can be use to build a URL address in "http(s)://mydomain.emakin.com/file/<fileId>" format. This file url can be accessed with from anonymous environment.

Accessing to file by default shows the preview application if supported. If you want to just download please use the "http(s)://mydomain.emakin.com/attachment/<fileId>" format to force.
Revisioning
In emakin every file has own unique identifier and any update on file stored with new identifier and marked as "revision". When revision is completed new file content replaced with old file to keep id number same.
Updates from user interface is automatically handled but in scripting environment you may need to use Files.Replace method to update revision.
