As the sole product designer on Flow, it was my responsibilty
to carve out the look and feel for these pages, as well as solve our UX problems. 

UX Problem

We need to create a smoother, more intuitive solution to
files than our existing file management system.

Solution

instead of housing files on the right sidebar as a tab, we need
to break them out into their own page.

Make files feel more accessible and comfortable on Flow

Make the files page feel like an existing and intuitive page within flows system. 

  

Page Overview

The Files and Assets page provided another way to experience an organizations progress on a product or deliverable by seeing a file and having its version synced with the last time it was updated on dropbox, google drive, or sharepoint. Only the primary stakholder of a deliverable would have unrestricted access to all of a files versions as shown below, to ensure everyone on the team could only download and share the most recent or ‘correct’ version of a file

   

Outcome

The files and assets page provided a new way for users to experience their content in a more matter of fact way without the view of the timeline; direct feedback from one customer said that the versioning system and versioning permissions saved lots of
time and meta work on their part.
