4. In the Sharing lightbox, enter an email address and an appropriate text message. An email
containing your information and access instructions will be generated and sent to the recipient.
Note: If the Allow editing and deletion check box is disabled, invited users can only download and read
documents included in the shared folder.
Regardless of the method used to invite a person, the recipient will then receive one or two emails,
depending on whether he is an internal (Active Directory) or external user.
a. For an external user, the first email with subject You have been invited to Acronis Access.
contains a link to set a personalized password.
b. The second email with subject You have been given access to Marketing Campaign contains
your message and a link for accessing the shared files.
Once the invited user clicks on the link to access the system (and set his password if needed) you and
your colleague will share access over the files in the Marketing Campaign folder.
Make sure you tell your colleague about the Access Desktop Client, so you can synchronize files
automatically among your computers.
Note: The maximum path length is different between Mac OS X and Windows which can lead to syncing errors
in cross platform deployments. On Windows there is an OS limitation of 260 characters (MAX_PATH) total for
the entire path, including the "C:\mysharefolder\" part. So on Windows the max filename length will be 260
- [share folder path length] - 1 (for NULL terminator).
e.g. The user is sharing C:\my_shared_documents and is trying to download a file into
C:\my_shared_documents\this_is_a_folder\ the max file name length of that subdirectory would be 260 - 40 - 1
= 219 characters. The Mac OS X limit is 1024 characters.
