Upload and share files


Upload


Upload files via Web Cloud

To upload a file via the Web Cloud, first log in to your leitzcloud and change to “My Files”. In this view you will see the button “Upload Files”.



If you select the button, a new window will appear. Here you can either drag and drop files directly from your computer or click on “Add Files” to manually search for files on your device.



Once you chose your files, you can start the upload via “Start Upload”.



Upload files via Sync Tool

If you have installed the Sync Tool on your device, you can also upload files to the leitzcloud by moving them to the synchronization folder.


Share

There are multiple ways to share files.

One of them is the “Secure Share”. With “Secure Share” you can share files with people that are not members of the leitzcloud. They get a secure link to download the shared file. This is especially beneficial when sharing large files that ca not be.

Another is via Team Shares. Team Shares are used to share a folder with a specific group of people. In the article “Create Team Shares” you can find a detailed guide on how to work with these shares.

The last way is to create a link, with which you can share files publicly. Since anyone who has this link can access the document, this option is not very secure.

Secure Share via Web Cloud

This way you can share a file with people that are not member of the leitzcloud.

Log in to your Web Cloud and switch to “My Files”. With a right-click on a file or a folder you can select “Share”.



In the new window under “Recipients” enter all the email addresses of the people you want to share the file with. You can also specify an expiration date for the share. Once the share expires, it is no longer available.

Additionally, if needed you can also add a message to the share and you will also be able to see who opens the link and uploads files.

With “Share” you confirm your input and you will get a notification, when the share link was successfully sent.



You will then be directed to a view where you have the options to download the file to your computer, to add new shares or to remove existing ones.

Tip: You can get notified if a file is downloaded or a file is uploaded in a folder.

Secure Share via Sync Tool

You can not only share files via the Web Cloud but also directly from your sync folder.

Right-click on the item you want to share, go to “leitzcloud” and select “Share Link”. As a result you will be redirected to the same form described above.

Share via Team Share

Team Shares are used for optimal collaboration with other users of the leitzcloud. Files and folders inside the Team Share are synchronized with every member of the Team Share. You can find a detailed guide on Team Shares here.

Public Share

Proceed as you would share via Secure Share. In the window "Share Acess" choose "Public Share URL" instead and copy the link. You can now send it to everyone who needs it.



Overview of all shares

Via the tab “Shares" in the Web Cloud you can see both a list of all Team Shares and individual shares where you can also make changes afterwards.
