Sharing via WebSynchro

WebSynchro allows you to share any folder or file locally available on your computer, whether it is already synchronized with the online workspace or not.

In the same way as on the web version of your Oodrive Work or Oodrive Work_share application, you can make different types of shares depending on the items to be shared and the access permissions you have over these items (owner, recipient with collaborate permission, etc.).

  1. In the file explorer, select one or more items (folders, files).

  2. Right click one of the selected items and select in the context menu WebSynchro -> Share with WebSynchro.

  3. Choose a sharing method from the list (differs according to file/folder and user access permissions on the item).

    • Share via link

    • Share via Oodrive email

    • Share with Outlook (or any other email client specified by default)

    • Collaborative share (for folder sharing only)

  4. Follow the steps indicated. The procedure is similar to sharing from your Oodrive Work or Oodrive Work_sharer online workspace.

Please note

Sharing via link and via email client does not allow the selection of recipients and access permissions, as these types of share generate public sharing links.

The table below describes the items that can be customized for each of the available sharing types:

Sharing type

Choice of recipients and access permissions to share

Choice of security options

Share via link

 ❌ ✔

Share via Oodrive email

 ✔ ✔

Share via Outlook

 ❌ ✔

Collaborative share

 ✔ ✔

The table below shows how selected items are shared when you share from the file explorer:

I want to share…

WebSynchro shares...

A synchronized item

 The existing item online (quick sharing and no uploading)

An unsynchronized item, that I have never shared

 The locally stored item (after uploading it to the online workspace)

An unsynchronized item, that I have already shared

You have the choice (*) to:

  • Use the existing item online

  • Use the local one by replacing the remote item with the local one (for files only)

  • Use the local one, renaming it to the current date

(*)These options can be set by default in the share settings menu to avoid having to choose an option each time the same item is shared again (see the Manage your application's Options > Sharing options section of the documentation).
