Sharing Files (Inviting Friends, Family and Colleagues)

[Kenneth]

Sharing files is simple and involves zero hassle. To share files, all you need to do is:

1. Locate the Space you would like to share.
2. Expand the Space (desktop) or swipe it from right-to-left (mobile).
3. Click or tap the ‘invite’ symbol located on the far right.
4. Enter the username or email address of the friend, family member or colleague you wish to share your files with and click or tap the ‘+’ symbol to add the user to the invitation list.
5. Expand the added username or email address (desktop) or swipe it from right-to-left (mobile) and select the key symbol to assign user rights (an overview of the different user rights can be found below)
6. Click or tap “Invite”.

To password protect an invitation select “Message and Protection” and enable “Password Protection”.

Non-TeamDrive users are invited to join Spaces, and TeamDrive, via emails that could potentially be intercepted by malicious third parties. Users sending invites are therefore advised to confirm the email addresses of non-TeamDrive users before sending invitations. In addition, the “password protection” feature is a viable option for encrypting invitations. Using a password will also help to prevent unintentional invitees, possibly due to misspelled usernames or email addresses, from joining a Space.

The invited user will receive a Space invitation notification via email and a Space invitation within the TeamDrive client (if they are an existing TeamDrive user). Space invitations can only be accepted or declined via the client. Within the Space invitation notification email are links to download TeamDrive installation software; for use in case TeamDrive is not already installed on the recipient’s machine.

When a Space invitation has been received, the “Invitations” menu item on the home screen will display a blue bubble with a number (the number is indicative of how many unchecked invitations are on the invitations list).

To change a user’s rights in a Space, navigate to the Space where you would like to change the user’s rights and expand the Space (desktop) or swipe it from right-to-left (mobile) and press the ‘i’ to see the Space’s info.

Click or tap the “Members” button to reveal the list of members, expand the necessary username (desktop) or swipe it from right-to-left (mobile) and click or tap the key symbol to change the user’s rights.

To delete a user, expand the user’s username (desktop) or swipe it from left-to-right (mobile) and select the ‘x’ to remove the user from the Space.
