Folder Permissions

With ShareFile, you have granular permission control over folders you create.
The folder permissions detailed below allow for user-specific folder functionality.
Each user on the folder can have their own permission set.

Download permission
With download permission, a user has the ability to download any document in the
folder to their computer or mobile device.

Download alerts

With download alerts, users will be notified via email that files have been
downloaded from the folder.
A user must be granted admin permission on the folder to be granted download
alerts, as it will allow them to identify other users on the folder when they download
documents.

Upload permission
Granting a user upload permission gives the user the ability to upload files or folders
to the folder.
With this permission, the user is also able to create subfolders within this folder. Any
subfolders created will automatically inherit the parent folders permissions. The user
creating the subfolder will not be able to manage users on the newly created subfolder
unless they were also granted admin permission on the parent folder.

Upload alerts
With upload alerts, users will be notified via email that files have been uploaded to
the folder.
In order to be granted this permission, the user does have to also be granted the
download permission. Users with download permission will also be able to grant
themselves this permission through a checkbox on the folder.

Delete permission
The delete permission grants a user the ability to delete files within the folder that
they did not upload.

Note that by default, all users are able to delete files that they uploaded to the folder.
This can be turned off for an account by an administrators request to ShareFile
customer support .

Admin permission
A user granted admin permission has the ability to manage folder access on this
folder and can add or remove users. They will also be able to edit some folder options.
Note that the user listed as Owner (usually the creator of the folder) may not be
removed by any user.

View permission
Granting a user view permission allows them to view a document without
downloading it.
A user must be granted just view permission if you desire them to view the document
with a watermark.
If you grant a user download permissions on the folder, they will automatically be
granted view permissions as well.
Note: Only VDR accounts have the ability to grant View permissions.
