Receive Faxes to Your Team Fileserver
February 3, 2010 by admin · Leave a Comment
Paper faxes are quickly becoming a thing of the past. There are services that allow faxes to be sent and received via computer and email. If you are using a service like MyFax or eFax, it is very easy to set it up to send faxes directly to your Team Fileserver using Email2Folder to backup and share with your team.
Double-click the drive icon of the Team Fileserver you would like to use and create a folder on the top level of your Fileserver. You can use capital letters but the folder cannot have spaces. We will call ours “Faxes”.
You can also log in to your account at mynomadesk.com to add the folder to your Team Fileserver by clicking on the Add Folder icon.
Go to your online fax service of choice and set the email address the faxes are sent to “Faxes@MyTeamFileserver1.nomadesk.com“.
Note: replace “MyTeamFileserver1″ with the name of your Team Fileserver on which you created the folder.
Now you are ready to receive faxes directly to your Team Fileserver to be synchronized and available to members of your team.

Nomadesk already provides easy file sharing for all files on a Nomadesk fileserver with FileLink and unlimited guest access. FolderLink takes ad-hoc file sharing to the next level. Any folder on a Nomadesk Team Fileserver can now be shared via myNomadesk.com.
How does it work?
Follow the steps below and you will be sharing folders with friends and co-workers within seconds.
Note: make sure you have a working Nomadesk Team Fileserver (either in trial or through a subscription plan). Click here for download and installation instructions.
-
Log in with your Nomadesk account on myNomadesk.com.
-
Select your Fileserver and browse to the location containing the folder you wish to share.
-
On the folder you wish to share, click the down arrow or right-click and choose FolderLink.
-
Select the notify option if you wish to be notified by email when someone has accessed the folder.
5. If necessary, change the expiration time of the link. Tip: this option can be handy if you want to increase or lower the security level of the folder link or if you want your team members to download and review the contents of the folder before a given deadline.
6. Enter your addressees email addresses, type a subject and a message, and click Send.
Your recipients will receive an email which contains a FolderLink. When they click this link, they will be redirected to a secured Nomadesk website from which they can download the file.
Note: only the contents in the root of the folder will be shared with your recipients, no subfolders will be visible.
Share A File On A Nomadesk Fileserver From Your Own Email Client
December 16, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment
All files that reside on a Nomadesk Fileserver can be easily shared with the Nomadesk FileLink™ feature. The Nomadesk FileLink feature is a quick and easy way to create a public download link to any file on your Nomadesk Fileserver. With this feature, Nomadesk lets you send a pre-formatted email with the file download location directly from Nomadesk.
In some cases however, you might prefer sending the public download link from your own email client program so you can freely choose the style, content and originator of the email.
How?
1. Start by creating a FileLink as you normally would:
- Select the file you wish to share and right-click the file (Windows) or use Ctrl+F (Mac).
- Choose Nomadesk Tools > Send FileLink.
- Enter your own email address in the To field, type a subject and a message, and click Send.
2. Copy the URL from the FileLink email you just received and paste it in a new email which you can fully customize and send to your recipient(s).
When your recipients click this link, they will be redirected to a secured Nomadesk website from which they can download the file.
Note: Since the FileLink was created with your own email address, you will get a confirmation that you accessed this FileLink each time someone clicks the FileLink (if you selected the confirmation option ). If you need to know who accessed the FileLink, send the FileLink directly from Nomadesk. The choice is yours….
