বাংলা My Files is your personal file storage area where you can manage documents uploaded to your Shifton account.
What Is This?
The My Files page (/files) provides a personal file storage space for the currently logged-in user. Unlike Company Files, which are shared across the organization, My Files shows only the files that belong to you. Use it to store personal documents, certificates, or any files relevant to your employment.
