Folder and File Sharing with IBM SmartCloud Storage
The previous two articles discussed different access methods to your IBM SmartCloud Object Storage and Team Folder collaboration features. This article introduces the Folder and File Sharing feature with your IBM SmartCloud Storage.
Functionality wise, Folder and file sharing is similar to team folder collaboration. There are 3 major differences.
(1) Team folder is managed by administrator for the team; while Folder sharing is managed by each team member.
(2) Team folder can only be published to known team users; while folder sharing can be shared to external user on a read-only basis, in addition to sharing with internal team users.
(3) Team folder is always collaboration on a folder level; while folder and file sharing can share on a single file level.
You c an also click into a folder and then click the “Sharing” button.
Once you open the shared item, it will show you the folder and files.
Remember, these files and folders are hosted in your own IBM SmartCloud Object Storage account. Isn’t that cool?
