ERDA Share Links and Workgroups

In ERDA, you can share data easily and quickly via Share Links.

Right click on a folder or file in Files, choose Share Link and Create. This will open a window, where you must pick which combination of Read-Only and Write-Only Access you want to use. Please note that if you wish to share single files you can only do so with Read-Only Access. Tick the boxes to share data with read-only, write-only, or read and write-access. Click OK.

In our example, we've given read-only access to the file, so our colleague can only see and download the file. 

Click Open share link when the link is ready to see how it will look for the recipients. You can now either send the page's address to your colleagues yourself, or you can use the helper to send invites by email. 

Click Edit and send share link to open the helper. Enter the emails to which you want to send invites under Recipients and consider writing a message for the recipients. Finally, click Send invitation(s).

The other basic way to share files is via Workgroup shared folders, if, for instance, you want to share files in a project group or as part of a collaboration.

ERDA has close integration of project shares, making it easy to share files directly in Files. All groups automatically have a shared folder, which is marked with a small, blue folder-icon. All files and folders placed here will automatically be shared with the members of the group. In other words, all you need to do to share files is to place them in the specific folder.

In our example, I own the Testy McTest project, and can see the shared folder with the README-file and the folder from the sub-project.

I've only shared the Testy McTest folder, so Thelittletestthatcould-folder has a normal folder icon.
