Sharing Folders

Information about Filespace Sharing

• Only folders can be shared, NOT individual files
• You may either grant users Read Only or Full Access
  • Full access allows creation, modification and deletion of files in that folder.
  • Full access does not allow that person to grant rights to additional users.
• Users you give access to will see your username in their K: drive and only the folder(s) you shared with them.

Procedure for Sharing a Folder

1. Open web browser to http://sharemgr.messiah.edu.
2. Login using your Messiah username and password.
3. Select a folder on the left side of the screen that you want to share. The folder you wish to share must already exist or you will not see it on the screen.
4. On the right side you will see a list of users who have been given access to that particular folder. Add an additional user by clicking on Add User. Remove users by clicking on their username from the list.
5. When you Add a User, you can enter their username directly, or search by entering a First Name and/or Last Name.
6. You will be able to give those users Read or Write access to the folder. Whatever access you give will be automatically given to all subfolders of the selected folder.
7. When finished adding and removing users, click Logout (on the top-right of the page).
