Hi

When you add a document into Share, the document is stored in Alfresco; you can create a rule that adds the cm:classifiable aspect when documents are created in space or sub-spaces; if you want to add aspect and put some default values into document properties, maybe you can make a script and create the rule to use such script.

I have my custom content types in alfresco.
How can I add it in "change type" dialog items in share?

hey goto <tomcat>\shared\classes\alfresco\web-extension

rename the share-config-custom.xml.sample to share-config-custom.xml  then search for <types> add your coustom type in that,  restart the server.

and then login to share. then u will get a option to select type in dropdown.

Hi,

There is a quicker way to upload files with custom types in Alfresco Share.
The solution consists in selecting the document type when uploaing it as in Alfresco Explorer.

You can refer to this article for more details on how to add the "Content type" field to the Alfresco Share upload form:
