Sharing

Aside from being able to have your files synched and available via the Web Interface and client applications, one of the main uses of DataSync is the ability to share files with other collaborators, be they members of the University with existing accounts or external users with no Uni affiliation.

The following instructions advise on how this is accomplished, as well as how access restrictions can be applied to files, and how the files can then also be unshared from users whose collaboration is no longer required.

Please Note: Sharing External  Storage Folders 

For sharing External Storage (DataStore) folders, please follow the instructions above. Note, however, that sharing for these folders is not enabled by default, so you would have to enable it first in the 'Advanced settings' (wheel icon) of the folder in question. Please see full instructions at the bottom of External Storage page.
