New Feature: FolderLink

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.

1. Log in with your Nomadesk account on myNomadesk.com.
2. Select your Fileserver and browse to the location containing the folder you wish to share.
3. On the folder you wish to share, click the down arrow or right-click and choose FolderLink.
4. 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.
