Overview

Sharing a folder helps you collaborate with other people and share files or content. When you share a folder, you can assign manage permissions, edit permissions, or view permissions to each collaborator. 

The following table describes the tasks that collaborators can perform depending on the permission that they have.

If your administrator granted the appropriate rights, you can share a folder with the following people:

  • inSync Share users in your organization.
  • inSync Share user groups in your organization. Administrators create inSync Share user groups.
  • Non inSync Share users within and outside your organization. These people are called guest users.

Before you begin

Before you share a folder with other users, ensure the following:

  • The folder that you want to share is located inside your inSync Share folder.
  • You are either the owner of the folder that you want to share or a collaborator with manage permissions on that folder.
  • Neither a parent folder nor a child folder of the folder that you want to share is shared using inSync Share.

Procedure
