A default user can upload images, videos, documents, and other files to Omni CMS. 

Upload files while in Content > Pages or while inserting an image, media, or link onto a page. Uploading adds files to the file structure for your pages. You must publish an uploaded file for it to be visible on your live website.

From the Pages View

Go to the Content > Pages list showing the location where you would like to upload new files. If you are uploading an image, there may be an "images" folder. If you are uploading a document (.pdf, .doc, and so forth), there may be a "docs" folder.
