Before you can share multiple files, you must create a new folder for the files that you wish to share. (For detailed information refer to the Creating a folder and Adding file to a folder pages.)

1. Locate the folder that you would like to share.
2. Right-click the folder.
3. Click Share.
4. Select an option from the Share Folder pop-up window.
5. Click the blue arrow.

If you select New workspace:

1. In the  Workspace Label field, create a label for the new workspace.
2. In the Description field, provide a brief description of the folder contents.
3. In Existing or new user field, select an existing user or create a new one and set their Read and Write access.
4. Click the checkmark.

The shared folder will appear in the user's account as a new workplace.

If you select Public Minisite:

1. In the  Workspace Label field, create a label for the new minisite.
2. In the Description field, provide a brief description of the folder contents.
3. Set the user permissions for the minisite by selecting the applicable checkboxes.

             a) Browse & Preview allows the user to open and preview files.

             b) Download allows the user to download files from the folder.
