It should be possible to share Subfolders

It should be possible to share Subfolders

The limitation that "Only root-level folders can be shared." is disruptive and unnecessary from a user point of view.

I agree. I'm using (sub)folders to share it with some of the design team. I have now to much folders at the home page, i don't think that this is the right way to use A360.

I agree as well, we're still experimenting with A360 but having top level only sharing makes for an unworkably broad file tree

ping... just bringing this back to the top of the list.

Agreed- would kick some butt for A360 drive if it could manage sync for select folders in different lcoations locally.

 

For instance- Having revit TXT files (Keynotes, etc.) stored and sync'd to a PROJECT folder on A360 drive. Then other users invidted to share (R/W/E/D) could point the share file to point to folders in their local drives from anywhere in the world.

 

Looking at using this in conjunction with C4R and supplemental heading towards Alexandria.

 

ADDED FEATURE file locking when another user is editing (not reading) the file would hlep as well.

 

ADDED FEATURE of specifying which users have R/W/E/D access would be huge.

 

ADDED FEATURE Enterprise sync- to coordinate all nodes user server side and coordinate through a LOCAL repository to limit ENTERPRISE bandiwdth incoming and outgoing (Local Proxy Server?)

Status changed to: Under Review

Yes, it is unfortunate that subfolder sharing is not possible with A360 Drive.  It makes the service very cumbersome to use on any kind of a real project with multiple collaborators, all of which need differing access permissions to different subfolders.
