Manage Shared Client Boxes

Shared client boxes are a great way to distribute documents in one go to all clients of a box.

This comes in handy if you need to send out a document, such as a newsletter, to all your clients. Instead of uploading the same document to every single client box individually, you simply place it in a shared client box instead.

Create Shared Client Box

This operation creates a new shared client box.

1. In the box navigation pane, select the box in which you would like to create a shared client box.
2. Right-mouse click the box icon to open the box’s context menu and select the ’Create new shared client box’ item.
3. Enter the name of the shared client box and click the ‘Create shared client box’ button in the input dialog.
4. A shared client box is created and a new entry is appended to its parent box in the box navigation pane.

After a shared client box has been created, the owner can perform all standard file and folder operations as described in the Files and folders section.

A box can have one or many shared client boxes.

All clients of a box automatically have access to a shared client box. However, they can only read contents but they cannot alter or remove it. Only the box owner and invited users can perform read and write operations in a shared client box.

Change Shared Client Box Alias

This operation changes he alias associated with a shared client box.

1. In the box navigation pane, select the shared client box whose name you would like to change.
2. Right-mouse click the box icon to open the box’s context menu and select the ‘Change Box Alias’ item.
3. Enter the new box alias and press the ‘Change’ button.

The new alias is only shown to the user who changed it. All other users and clients continue to see the original name.

The box alias can be reset to the current box name by following steps 1-2 above and pressing the 'Reset' button.

Delete Shared Client Box

This operation deletes a shared client box and all its contents permanently.

2. Right-mouse click the box icon to open the shared client box’s context menu and select the ‘Delete shared client box’ item.
