Filr 3 (which earlier planned to be called Filr 2017) which was shipped yesterday has the capability to share folders inside a net folder.

Hi All, Filr's next release 'Filr 2017' with Net Folder sharing is getting ready. Those of you who are interested in seeing how it is implemented, test and provide us feedback: please do consider joining 'Filr 2017' beta program. Here is the link to 'Filr 2017' beta program: www.novell.com/.../

In schools we frequently have to share files to different agencies on a permanent basis. If we could have the ability to grant even read only access to a folder within our net folder and generate a link as files work right now that would be awesome. An example would be we need to share a policies folder with our police department. We don't want to have an entire list of folders under guest access because that is a really messy way IMO of making a folder public. If we can simply e-mail them a link to the folder and they can distribute it to the appropriate parties without having to login that would be a very beneficial feature. I think back in filr infancy that "Make Public" (link) and "Guest Access" (list) got blended together when they really are two very different things.

Thanks Mark, I know we can share files inside net folders. What we need is to share folders that are into Net Folders, and on Filr 1.X I enabled the sharing.netFolders.allowed=true parameter in /opt/novell/filr/apache-tomcat/webapps/ssf/WEB-INF/classes/config/ssf.properties as stated above. That allowed me to do that. In version 2 this parameter is not working, I am asking if there is a similar way to enable this in v2.0 (although I know it is not recommended by Novell) Thank you!

What about sharing a folder inside a Net Folder? To us it is more important to be able to share a folder inside a Net Folder than the Net Folder itself. Please advise. Thanks!
