Files power app question

Hi all. I wonder if what I'm trying to achieve is possible. I am building an employee experience site with Una. What I need now is for users in one permission group to be able to upload files to the profiles of users in another permission group. For example, Dan in accounting can go on Bob, who's in sales' profile and upload his incentive report there. Dan also has reports for Alice and John who are also in sales. He can go on their respective profiles later and upload their reports.

With the way the Files app currently is I can set permission for people to be able to upload files, access files, etc. But there's no option for me to allow someone to upload a file to any profile, only to theirs. Is it because the way Una does it is assign ownership to the file based on who uploaded it? Can I make it work the way I described above?

      Yes, it's possible to do via the following feature. So the user with the level including the files upload should following the users where he / she wants to upload files.

        Who should follow who? And then one user can upload files to the profile of another user?

        • Let's see an example. The user A wants to post smth to the context of user B. Then Ab should follow B and then post files to his context. All those files will belong to A but are shown on the page of B. See more details about posting to context here https://una.io/page/cmts-view?sys=bx_forum&id=3645&cmt_id=14317

            I tried to use this post to context thing but it doesn't seem to work the way I want it. I'm having trouble getting B to find the file that A posted for them. And also, when you post files like this it doesn't give you any options for which folder to put the files in.

            A is in finances and has reports to send to B, C, and D. They're personal so each report can only be seen by the person its inteded for among B, C and D. B, C, and D should also be able to find all of their files aggregated in a single page so that they can quickly find them and refer to them.

            Can this work with the method you're describing?
