All invitations sent from other users will appear in the “Invitations” section.

To accept an invitation either expand the invitation (desktop) or swipe the invitation from right-to-left (mobile) and select the ‘√’ (to see more information about the invitation, select the ‘i’). Alternatively, to decline an invitation, swipe the invitation from left-to-right (mobile) and select the ‘x’.

Joining Previously Joined or Created Spaces

Postby Kenneth » 02 Feb 2016, 17:14

When logging in as an existing user after a fresh installation of TeamDrive it is possible that you will automatically receive “invitations” to all Spaces that were active in your most recent TeamDrive installation. These “invitations”, however will appear in the section “Inactive Spaces”. This is only possible if you have the Registration Server Key Repository feature enabled. This feature can be found in Settings > Backup > Back up Keys on the Server.

Alternatively, you can also invite yourself to your Spaces from an existing TeamDrive desktop or mobile installation or you can use the backup keys from a previous TeamDrive installation to import and restore access to your Spaces .

Backup keys can also be imported from the Key Repository if you have this function enabled. By default, this feature is turned on. To import backup keys navigate to Settings > Backup > Import Keys.

Please note that changing your password automatically deletes, for security reasons, all keys stored in your Key Repository at that time. If you change your password before creating a new installation you will not see any “invitations” to your Spaces in the section “Inactive Spaces”. You will also not be able to import your Space keys from the server because they will have been deleted.

The Key Repository is described the Settings section of this manual.

Restoring a Space

Postby Kenneth » 02 Feb 2016, 17:14

When a Space is restored the latest versions of all files that exists on the server for that Space will be downloaded. In most cases a backup of the existing local Space folder will be created and stored in the local file system with the following naming convention, *Space-name*_backup.

To restore a Space, expand the desired Space and select “I” for info. Once the Space information screen appears, scroll to the bottom and select “Restore”.

Please be advised that upon beginning the restoration process, all pending uploads will be canceled.

Space Join Modes: Keep Files on Server

Postby Kenneth » 02 Feb 2016, 17:15

Files will not be automatically downloaded to the local machine. All files will remain on the server, and be updated accordingly, and must be manually downloaded. Once a file has been manually downloaded it will be automatically updated as soon as a new version of the file is available.

Per default, desktop clients join Spaces using the option “download all files”, which downloads all files to the local file system. If you do not wish to locally store copies of the files, please join the Space using the “keep files on server” option. In the event you have already joined a Space without using the option “keep files on server”, you simply need to disable the “offline availability” for that Space. This will have the same effect as joining a Space using the “keep files on server” option.

Space Join Modes: Select Space Location

Postby Kenneth » 02 Feb 2016, 17:16

This option allows you to pick the ‘save’ location of a Space. This is useful when you do not want to store a Space in the default Spaces location.

Space Join Modes:Copy Files from...

Postby Kenneth » 02 Feb 2016, 17:16

Copy Files from Backup: Join/Recover a Space without having to re-download all of the data from the server (i.e. the data already exist locally on the machine)

In many cases, when joining a Space, the data already exists locally on your hard drive, on a USB stick, on an external hard drive, etc. Using this option alerts TeamDrive to the fact that the data already locally exist.

After selecting this option you will need to browse through the file system and select the path where the Space’s data already exist. TeamDrive will then compare each individual file in the local directory to the Space’s files located on the server. If the local version of a file matches the version on the server, the local version will be copied over to the directory where the Space you are joining will be saved. If the local version of a file does not match the version on the server, the version from the server will be downloaded.

Space Join Modes: Download All Files (Mobile)

Postby Kenneth » 02 Feb 2016, 17:17

This option is generally the only ‘advanced’ join option for mobile devices. Per default, mobile device clients join Spaces using the option “keep files on server”. If you wish to have all data available on your mobile device at all times and for offline use, please join the Space using the “download all files” option. In the event you have already joined a Space without using the option “download all files”, you simply need to enable the “offline availability” for that Space. This will have the same effect as joining a Space using the “download all files” option.

Space Join Modes: Rejoin from Scratch

Postby Kenneth » 08 Jul 2016, 13:44

This option allows you to join a Space without using a snapshot of the Space. Using this option will trigger the synchronization of all events that have happened in the Space, since the Space’s creation. This option is useful in the case that a snapshot is broken and the Space can, therefore, not be joined or if you would like to synchronize a Space’s entire event history with your activities
