Online file sharing to retrieve sharing file online features provided by backup solutions with the shared account's encryption key.
Retrieving Files from another Account
If your Agent is configured appropriately, and if other accounts have granted you permission, you can retrieve files backed up to the Data Center from other Agent accounts. Similarly, you can enable other accounts to retrieve your files.
This feature can be useful in several situations such as:
- You are collaborating with others on a project and need to share updates to files that you are all working on.
- You are on the road with a notebook computer, and need to retrieve files that you backed up from your desktop system at the office.
- You want to exchange files between home and office systems without carrying floppy disks or sending files by e-mail.
In sharing files with other accounts, you can share either all files or limit file sharing to only a specific folder.
To share files, the user of the account being shared must first grant the appropriate permissions for each account that should be granted access. To access a shared account, the other account users must have the shared account's encryption key. The other accounts can then access the shared account's files through their own agent.
Note: Account sharing is currently only available with version 7.x accounts but will be reintroduced in version 8.x soon.
