You can share your data with a so called public link to any person. Note that a share with an expiration data gets a small clock indicator next to the cogwheel icon (1). When the expiration date of a shares is reached the share to the user will automatically be removed without any notice to the user who has received the share. To set an expiration date just add (or change) the expiration data (2). You can also add an expiration date to your share. After the email was sent, the "notify by email" disappears, so you can only inform the user by email once. SWITCHdrive will immediately send an email to the user about the shared data, including a link to quickly view the shared data in a web-browser. If you want to inform the user about your new share click on the button "notify by email". Once you have selected the user or group, you can adjust the sharing permissions by clicking on the tiny cogwheel icon to display the sharing options, see (1) in the image above.
If no such instance or user can be found, an error message will be displayed. If you select the"Federated" entry then SWITCHdrive expects that this user is at another ownCloud instance (for example at ETHZ using Polybox). However pay attention to always select the"User" entry. You can also search a person by email address, see screenshot above on the right. If you cannot find the correct person, type only the last name of the person and then scroll through the list of names. Just type the name of person as you know it, with lower or uppercase letters, with ö,ä,ü,é,è etc. The list of matching users also shows the email address of the user in gray in case you need to distinguish users with the same name.
Wait a moment until SWITCHdrive displays a list of matching users, then pick the correct person or custom group from the list. In the sharing section enter the first name and the last name of the person (or the name of the custom group). In the SWITCHdrive Web-Client, locate the file or folder that you want to share and click on the icon.
