Managing Shared folder upload/download permissions

Shared folders are ideal for groups of people to work on the same files together. This feature allows multiple users and contacts to:

• Upload and download files.
• Be notified by email when files are uploaded, downloaded, or both.
• Restrict access differently for each recipient: only-upload, only-download, both or to allow delete privileges.

All the files and folders created within the shared folder, are updated live and shared with all shared recipients.

Shared Folder Indicators

• When you share a folder you own, a green arrow will indicate it’s being shared with others.
• A red arrow on the folder, indicates that someone has shared this folder with you.

Files that you upload to shared folders will be visible to you and members of the folder who have been granted “read” privileges. If granted only “write” permissions, they will only be able to upload to the shared folder but not see any of the files.

Anonymously Sharing Folders

Folders can also be shared anonymously. When you share a folder anonymously you choose to give read-only, write-only, or read and write access to all files in the folder. Anonymous folders can be accessed via anonymous FTP using any FTP client. Click here for more information.

Shared Folder Privileges

Members of a folder can add, delete, or edit files or sub-folders within that folder depending on privileges granted by the creator of the folder. You can set privileges differently for each member of the folder in the drop-down list under “Access” (see below).
