Manual Sharing enhancements

Release 2.8.1 adds configuration settings to the Inherit Sharing checkboxes described below. First, a review of the feature:

 

From Release 2.8:

Manual sharing of files and folders (allowed when there is a lookup relationship from the file object to the parent, instead of Master-Detail) is now easier.

If you upload a file into a folder, or you create a subfolder, you can now choose to have the file or subfolder inherit the sharing of the parent folder.

If you share a folder, you can choose to have the sharing rule apply to all the subfolders and files inside that folder.

These features were already available for S-Drive tab, but are now also available for files on objects as well if there is a lookup relationship.

What’s New in 2.8.1?

In 2.8.1, you can choose whether the checkbox has a default of true or false and you can choose whether to show the checkbox to your users or not.

S-Drive Tab Configuration

To configure this on S-Drive Tab, go to S-Drive Configuration General Settings tab.

Enable Inherit Sharing Checkbox on S-Drive Tab controls whether the Inherit Sharing checkbox is shown or hidden when creating subfolders and uploading files. If checked, it is shown.

Enable Inherit Sharing by Default on S-Drive Tab controls whether the Inherit Sharing checkbox is checked or unchecked by default. If you hide the Inherit Sharing checkbox, you still need to use this setting to determine whether Inherit Sharing is true or false when subfolders are created and files are uploaded.

Object file configuration

To configure these settings for file objects (Account File, Contact File, etc including custom file objects) edit the lightning page and click in the S-Drive Lightning component.

Enable Inherit Sharing Checkbox controls whether the Inherit Sharing checkbox is shown or hidden when creating subfolders and uploading files. If checked, it is shown.

Enable Inherit Sharing by Default controls whether the Inherit Sharing checkbox is checked or unchecked by default. If you hide the Inherit Sharing checkbox, you still need to use this setting to determine whether Inherit Sharing is true or false when subfolders are created and files are uploaded.
