Sharing Files and Folders

File and folder sharing allows you to provide public or private access to files stored in FileCloud Server with various levels of access privileges.

While files can easily be shared by emailing them, sharing files in FileCloud allows you to:

• Keep track of who you have shared a file or folder with

• Add comments about the file or folder

• Monitor file versions

• Control changes people make to a file or folder by setting a combination of permissions to read, view, modify, copy, or delete it

• Have an allocated amount of personal file storage in a common file system

You can share a file or folder publicly or privately. 

Publicly

• Does not require the user you want to share with to have a FileCloud account.

• Lets you share a file with everyone with or without restrictions.

• Lets you share a file with everyone and require a password.

Privately

• Does require the user you want to share with to have a FileCloud account.

• Lets you invite someone to create a FileCloud account so you can share with them.

• Lets you share a file with specific FileCloud users with or without restrictions.

Some permission options may vary depending on whether you share a file or a folder.
