Description

An object that represents an asset loaded from a file on a local disk. Files generate a temporary asset ID in the form rbxtemp:// which can be used in Studio without uploading the asset, but will be destroyed when the File is destroyed or when the Studio session ends. Temporary asset IDs are not shared across collaborative sessions.

The default Name of a File instance will be the filename on disk, excluding the path but including the extension.
