I have a complicated system of folders and I need to share 2nd and 3rd level folders with certain groups of users while maintaining the full path to the folder.
Is this possible? I tried but without success as if I share a folder eg. Project 1->Administration with the "Group Administration" on the client I only see the Administration folder and I need, instead, to replicate the entire structure.
Thanks for the support
With the current ownCloud sharing implementation this is simply not possible. Every shared item appears directly in the "Shared" folder of the user the file/folder is shared with.
Update: At the moment ownCloud (and I guess also nextCloud) allow a user to move around and rename files/folders shared with them. So even if you could enforce a certain structure on your users, they could always change it afterwards.
You could always report a feature request for it (or maybe there even already is one) here: https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/ .

Been searching internet for best practices about this, but could not find any result.
Situation: we would like to have a folder where we do create our dashboards in,
then this would be distributed to other folders for different teams (clients, in our case). The content of these folders is not the same, nor their rights.
What we would like to do is to create something like symbolic link in linux in each of the folders for corresponding dashboards, so when we change one in main folder, it would change in each folder containing that dashboard
If this is not possible, what is the best alternative ?
thx in advance.
Recently my firm acquired the Workiste solution (DMS) v9.3.2. It is connected to Outlook as a plugin.
To the left of Outlook, beneath the Inbox, Outbox, Deleted Items and other folders, there is a browser of this DMS, whose contracted label is FileSite.
Within FileSite there are the Documents in Checkout, Recent Documents and Recent Folders blocks.
Within the latter, there are all the 'workspaces' I've been getting via search.
However, many queries of these folder blocks (named 'workspaces') remain forever in the FileSite browser and therefore in Outlook.
I would like to keep only those 'workspaces' already searched and useful to me, those useful to my day-to-day, and not all those I search just take a peek, only.
The Worksite documentation is crappy on the web, so I did not find any information on how to clear the contents of the block called _Recent Folder (and if this is possible to do)
FileSite allows you to view recently accessed workspaces via the Recent Workspaces node. This is typically configured by you system administrator to show the last 10 or 20 workspaces that you accessed.
There is a corresponding My Workspaces node which will show you a list of workspaces that you are interested in, which may or may not be those same workspaces in your list of Recent Workspaces. To add to that list of My Workspaces simply right click any workspace (the reddish box icon that is the root of each workspace folder structure) and select Add to My Workspaces. Once you've done that a shortcut to that workspace will appear in your list of My Workspaces.
While the underlying workspace name typically won't be editable (usually because a company policy prohibits it) the shortcut is yours and you may rename it if you wish.
Also, in My Workspaces you may find that you want to logically group certain workspaces, perhaps because you're working on a set of related projects or matters. In that case you can right click on My Workspaces and select New..Category. A Category is merely a logical grouping of workspaces that is personal to you.
You can also make use of your My Favorites area to store shortcuts to workspaces and categorise them. The main difference between My Workspaces and My Favorites is that the latter allows you to add shortcuts to individual documents and even folders, not just workspaces.
In my experience, most people seem to find that My Workspaces gives them enough flexibility
Note that the My Workspaces and Recent Workspaces etc nodes are themselves configurable. That means your organization's administrator may have relabelled them, eg to My Matters and Recent Matters if you're a legal team, or My Projects and Recent Projects, etc. Also, you may have been restricted to only view certain nodes in FileSite
Your administrator or tech training team should be able to provide you with some comprehensive FileSite user guides that are produced by iManage in PDF format. Those guides provide much more detail
I may have to add a second account to my Thunderbird configuration. I'm wondering what happens to my incoming mail? Do I have separate sets of folder for each account or a do the two accounts share a single set of folders?
And if there are separate sets of folders for each account is there any way to combine or merge them?
This arises because I am forced to switch from one server to another. After I switch, I will not be using the old server BUT I do wish to retain the old email.
For the benefit of whoever may be interested. It turns out the folders for the new account show up in the left hand pane along with the folders present before adding the new account. There is a heading for the folders in the two accounts and sub folders under those headings. For example each account has a Inbox. One can drag folders between the accounts BUT it appears it's a copy operation, not a move operation. The source folder stays behind under its original account.
This was asked in one of the interviews. I would like to know the possible answers to this question.
"You have a shared folder, which everybody can see. You want to upload 100 files. This upload of 100 files should atomic i.e either all files are available to download to any user or no file is available to download.
One can argue that he will delete the uploaded files if operation fails in between but that is not an option because once a file is uploaded, it becomes visible to other users.
What can be the possible solutions?
My solution - Upload them first to a private folder and then share that folder inside the main shared folder.
It will be almost impossible to achieve isolation if you are using these cloud services. You can do it if you have your own server. Distributed systems is the topic which deals with similar kind of problems.
You can put a lock on a folder and upload all the files and then can change the lock on that folder.
I have a big problem. One of my coworkers left the company yesterday and one of his projects went into my hands. We work for a company which set up a TFS for us to work together on one big project. He accessed the TFS by using his LiveID. When he left yesterday, he hasn't checked in his new/updated items and I forgot to do it today before I disconnected him and logged in with my account.
So basically I still have the updated solution on my local hard disk. But since my workspace is mapped to another folder, it actually downloaded old versions of our code files.
How can I copy the updated, not-checked-in items into my local workspace folder and check them in?
UPDATE: I have tried changing the local workspace folder by going to File --> Source Control --> Workspaces but I get another error telling me that the folder I'm trying to map (the one used by my ex-coworker) belongs to somebody else.
The easy way would be to log in as him, but a it is a Microsoft ID rather than an AD account you are kind of scuppered there. You o however have the files from disk. If you copy the files from his workspace and drop them over the top of your workspace TFS will detect the adds and edits for you. You will then have to go through and look for any deletes yourself..
a...make sure it builds, run all your unit tests, and then check in.
