What does "join file" mean?

Ive been woundering what it ment to join a file and what it does. Here is a picture of what i mean incase you don't know.

I hope youi guys can help.

Hello HeroUltraOmega,

The "join file" option is a permission to allow your members to attach attachments. If join file is checked, then the respective group will be able to attach any attachments in the respective forum(s).

EDIT: Apologies for the misleading information I wrote earlier.

Thanks for your explanation, Base, I've often wondered what "join file" meant too. So glad HeroUltraOmega asked the question.

You're welcome! I will be doing a tutorial on attachments very soon.

thanks for telling me that, but if it allows members to download atachments, then whats the point of "Download Attachments" if they basicly do the same thing?

Whoops! Sorry! Wrong explanation...

Join file actually means that they're allowed to attach files whilst download attachments literally allows them to download. Sorry for the misleading inforamtion.
