Groups

Groups work like email distribution lists, helping you efficiently share documents with your Contacts (colleagues, members of your task force, English 101 students, friends, family, whatever). You can have as many Groups as you'd like.

To create a Group, click on the "Create Group" button under the Groups header (right side of page):


Create Group

Using Groups lets you:

  • compile a share list just once and reuse it over and over
  • new people added to a Group have immediate access to all documents previously shared with that Group, eliminating the need to ever have to compile past documents. Note — the Group's administrator can remove obsolete or sensitive documents from Group access at any time.

A list of your Groups — those you've created and those you've been invited to — appears in the right-hand column. Clicking on a group name takes you to a Group page where you can see its members, pending members, and shared documents. Sharing a document with a Group is done from the My Library or Sharing pages (see Sharing).

Only a Group administrator can invite members to join; you invite someone by clicking the "invite" link by the Member header. The administrator can also:

  • email a group member (via the envelope icon)
  • remove a person from the group (via red "X" icon)
  • "promote" a group member to co-administrator
