4.4.2. Sending Sharing Invitation Email
Sharing invitation emails make it easy for your contacts to ac-
cess the content you want to share with them. When you share a
folder, as described above, an email message is automatically
generated. Embedded in the message is a link to your content.
All your friends have to do is click on the link for immediate ac-
cess.
To send a sharing invitation email:
Follow the steps for sharing a folder in section 4.4.1.
1.
above.
A default message appears in the Message content area of
2.
the Sharing Email window (Fig. 4.4.2). You can change this
message if you want. The link to you content will be included
in the message even if you delete all of the text.
Select the recipients you want to send the message to.

Click 4. Send Email.
ImpOrTANT INfO: If you do not send this email your con-
tacts won’t have the web address and won’t be able to ac-
cess the shared folder. The step above, Share Access, is not
sufficient, the Sending Sharing Invitation Email is necessary to
enable sharing.
