Tips

Deleting items

  • If you want to delete a shared folder or a file in a shared folder, you may not be able to do it if your role doesn't allow it. For example, if you have a Downloader role in a folder, you can't delete files.
  • Deleted items are moved to the Trash folder. You can permanently delete or restore the item from there. Items stay in the Trash until one of these events happen:
    • You permanently delete them.
    • Your Trash quota is reached.
    • The Trash is automatically cleared out, according to the interval set by your service administrator, who is the person in charge of managing the service for your organization.
    • You restore the item from the Trash.

Copying items

  • If you copy a file to the original location, it's saved with a number after the file name indicating it's a copy. For example, if you already had a file named Status Report.docx, a new copy of it is named Status Report(2).docx.

Locking files

  • To lock a file, long press on the file name then select the file. Tap the lock icon at the bottom of the screen.
  • Other people can unlock the file if they need to use it. If they do, you get an email telling you who unlocked it and when.
  • If someone tries to upload a new version of a file you locked, they can unlock it and upload the new version. You'll be notified by email if that happens.
