Folders can be shared in two different ways:
The build in admin user should NOT be set as a folder owner and should NOT be invited to folders. It is not advisable to use an administrative user as a folder owner. |
Sharing folders with another user requires the other user to have an account on the cloud. The user can then access the shared folder via the cloud web interface or via a desktop client for synchronizing it.
Sharing this way only shares whole folders, it's not possible to share sub-directories of a folder for synchronization.
To share a folder:
If the user doesn't exist in the cloud already, he will be added and receive an email with information how to access the folder.
Sharing folders via link doesn't require other persons to have a user account. The function will simply create a link, which can be sent via e-mail or copied for posting somewhere else.
To share a folder via link:
To no longer share a folder via link, please click on the share icon again and uncheck the Publicly shared check box. This will actually stop the share via link. The link itself will become invalid then.
