Own multiple iFolders
Participate in multiple iFolders that other users share with you
Participate as the owner or a member of iFolders in multiple accounts
You work with iFolders directly in your file manager or in the iFolder browser that is part of the
client. Within the iFolder, you can set up any subdirectory structure that suits your personal or
corporate work habits. The subdirectory structure is constant across all member iFolders.
Shared iFolders
An iFolder is a local directory that selectively shares and synchronizes files via a central server with
a user-specified users. The iFolder files are accessible to all iFolder members and can be changed by
those with the rights to do so. You can access your iFolders across multiple workstations and share
them with others.
You decide who participates in each iFolder and the level of access for each member. Similarly, you
can participate in shared iFolders that are owned by others in your collaboration environment. When
you share an iFolder, member users with the Write permission can modify the directory structure,
and those changes apply to all copies of the iFolder. Each user can locate the shared iFolder
anywhere on his or her own computer if it satisfies the
Section 7.1, “Guidelines for the Location and
Use of iFolders,” on page 69
.
IMPORTANT:
You cannot share your encrypted iFolders and the shared iFolders cannot be
encrypted.
1.5.2 iFolder Access Rights
The iFolder client supports the owner and three levels of access for members of an iFolder:
Owner:
Only one user serves as the owner of an iFolder. This is typically the user who creates
the iFolder. The owner user can use the iFolder client to transfer ownership to another member
of the iFolder.
The owner of an iFolder has the Full Control right. This user has read/write access to the
iFolder, manages membership and access rights for member users, and can remove the Full
Control right for any member.
Full Control:
A member of the shared iFolder, with the Full Control access right. This member
has read/write access to the iFolder and manages membership and access rights for all users
except the owner.
Read/Write:
A member of the shared iFolder, with the Read/Write access right to the
directories and files in the iFolder. This member can modify a file, but the local changes are
synchronized to other members’ copies of the iFolder.
Read Only:
A member of the shared iFolder, with the Read Only access right to directories
and files in the iFolder. This member can modify a file, but the local changes are not
synchronized to other members’ copies of the iFolder.
Any iFolder user can own some iFolders and be a member of other iFolders. As an owner user, you
always have the Full Control right. As a member user, your level of access in each shared iFolder
can differ, depending on the access granted to you by any member with the Full Control right.
