3.3 Sharing iFolders Through an iFolder 3.6
Enterprise Server
In the following example, Ulrik owns an iFolder named Denmark and shares it via his iFolder
enterprise account with Nigel, Luc, and Alice. Nigel travels frequently, so he also sets up the iFolder
on his laptop. iFolder members can upload and download files from the Denmark iFolder from
anywhere, using the iFolder Web Access server. In addition, Alice shares a non-work iFolder with
her friend Ulrik. In this example, an asterisk next to the folder name indicates the iFolder owner.

Collaboration and Sharing with iFolder
The iFolder client synchronizes the most recent version of documents to all authorized users of your
shared iFolder. All that you and other iFolder members need is an active network connection and the
iFolder client. With an enterprise server, your iFolders are stored centrally where they are easily
accessed by all iFolder members in a Multi-server environment.
