Sharing Files in Sync

File sharing allows you to provide public or private access to files stored in FileCloud and saved in your Sync folders.

While files can easily be shared by emailing them to someone, sharing files using Sync allows you to:

  • Keep track of who you have shared a file with
  • Add comments about the file
  • Monitor file versions
  • Control changes people make to the file or folder by setting a combination of permissions.
  • Have an allocated amount of personal file storage in a common file system

You can share a file in many different ways.
