What is a MyDrive User

 

Allow selected people access via login and define what they can do.

Each user has their own username and password.

 

He can log in to MyDrive with username@mainusername.

 


 

Set up user

 

Open Settings in the sidebar on the left.
Click on Users in the menu bar at the top.

Now click the Create new user.

 

 

Define the default access, which applies to all folders.

(If in doubt, select Visible without contents).

 


 

Set access rights per user

 

Open Settings in the sidebar on the left.
Click on Users in the menu bar at the top.

Click Details for a user.

 

 

 

A newly created user has access to all folders defined during setup.

 

 

Access can be changed for each folder.

To add folders click Select Folder.

 

 

Define the desired access rights for each folder in the list.

 


 

Set access rights per folder

 

To do this, click on Home and in the folder view List on the  icon on the far right.

Choose between the following accesses:

 

 


 

Two examples from practice

 

You have a folder Photos. This folder contains many subfolders.

 

1st example

You want to share only the Australia folder.

  1. Define access to the Photos folder as Visible without content
  2. Define the subfolder Australia as download

 

2nd example

You want to share all folders, but not the Tanzania folder.

  1. Define access to the Photos folder as a download
  2. Define the Tanzania subfolder as Invisible


 

Please note the following:

  • Newly created folders get the access of the parent folder.
  • If a folder is moved, it also gets the access of the parent folder.
