You can easily Share folder(s) with any number of digitalbucket.net users. Let's call these users Collaborators. These "Collaboration" folders work like a private workspace that is shared between you and your collaborators. This is a great way of inviting people to collaborate on your project folders. Each collaborator will have its own digitalbucket.net account and only can see the files that you have shared with him/her. You can share one or many folders with unlimited collaborators.
Once shared, any changes to your folder's content will be instantly available to your collaborators. The opposite is true as well, collaborators with Full Control permission can make changes to the shared folder and changes will be instantly available to you.
Add Email Notification Service to the Collaboration Folders and you and your collaborators will get email updates any time there is a new change in the folder. You can also monitor your collaborators' activities.
How to make a collaboration Folder
To make an existing folder a Collaboration Folder, right click on the folder and then select "Share this Folder" from the popup menu. Enter the email addresses of the individuals you would like to collaborate with. You may also use the Address Book to select your contacts.
NOTE: The email addresses must be the same as your collaborator's which have been used to register for their digitalbucket.net accounts.
Upon clicking on Ok, an email will be sent to all the users notifying of new shared folder. Shared folders are color coded. This will help to distinguish shared folders quickly.
Sub-account or Collaborator
Sub accounts are defined to give customized privileges to all or parts of your digitalbucket.net main account. Sub accounts don't need to be registered digitalbucket.net users to access those folders you've given them permissions.
