  2. Right-click the folder.
  3. Click Share.
  4. Select an option from the Share Folder pop-up box.
  5. Click the blue arrow.


If you select New workspace:


  1. In theWorkspace Label field, create a label for the new workspace.
  2. In the Description field, provide a brief description of the 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.
