Creating Team Shares as an End User

Overview

Team Shares are shared folders that can be accessed by groups of users. Team Shares can be configured for users in your organization; guest accounts cannot be added to Team Shares. You add files to Team Shares the same way you add files to standard folders. When a file changes within a Team Share, these changes will sync to everyone who is subscribed to the Team Share.

Administrators can create Team Shares for a group of subscribers, or end users can create their own Team Shares. For more information on configuring Team Shares for end users, please reference the How to Create and Manage Team Shares Knowledgebase article.

   • Click the On button to receive a Daily Digest email for the selected Team Share. A Daily Digest email will outline detailed information about events that occurred within the Team Share, including a list of files that were added or modified, when the event occurred, and the user who performed the action. You will receive a daily email until you turn off the Daily Digest option.
   • You can also turn on or off the syncing of Team Share content down to your local machine. This functionality is useful if a Team Share contains large files (such as video files) and you would rather only access the content when necessary from the web. Click the Off button to turn off the syncing of content to your local machine. Alternatively, click the On button to ensure that all content gets synchronized to your local machine.
