Members can now upload and share forms, documents, spreadsheets, templates, ebooks, letters, presentations, and other files with their fellow BiggerPockets members.
Additionally, you can create folders to organize your files and can also attach them to your forum posts or property listings.
In order to rate and review a file, you must download that file.
Pro Enhancements Our basic members are limited to downloading 10 files per week and do not have the ability to make their files private, while our PRO members can download as many files as they want - no restrictions - and can set their files to be private.

This is a great resource and will add a lot of value to the site experience going forward.
Question...why does it take up to 10 minutes for something to be published? That is kind of annoying when you want to respond to a post with an attachment.

We use Amazon to host the files. I won't bore you with the details, but the delay is a necessity. BTW - the average time for a file to go live is about 5 minutes.

Is it possible to link straight to the file instead of to the page to download the file? It isn't a big deal...just wondering.

I just wanted to thank those of you who have already shared with the rest of the community through the FilePlace. I look forward to all the valuable data to come. Thanks everyone.

What are people allowed to share Josh? I have some material that I circulate to people frequently offline when they ask about typical questions. The trouble is that it has some branding and/or contact information in it. Is that permissible to share via the site?

Bryan -
If you're circulating Marketing / Advertising Material, there is a Marketing category that you can upload to. Only our PRO members will be able to upload materials to this category, but all members will be able to download.
Any other material that you upload must have more value outside of marketing purposes if it is to remain in other sections of the FilePlace. There's no problem with a logo and contact info attached to a file, but if our users or we deem the file to be used for the sole purpose of advertising, then it will be removed (unless the user is PRO, in which case it will be moved to the Marketing section).

If you've got any great files that you use - forms, spreadsheets, documents, presentations, .applications, agreements, ebooks, etc., please share them with your fellow investors; and of course, please spread the word about the BiggerPockets FilePlace!

I added two new files for you tonight Josh...a simple amortization schedule and the marketing book for our fund. Hopefully others will continue to share their gems for all to use.

Hey folks - Please refrain from uploading content that is not your own to the FilePlace. We will remove any files that are the property (copyright) of another individual or company, unless, of course, you have expressed written permission to post it.

That makes two of us, Bryan. Not only does sharing give you the opportunity to earn goodwill from your peers, but it also provides a chance for credibility and visibility. People are definitely using it and downloading files -- hopefully more elect to upload and share the tools in their toolbox.
