Share Groups

If you share information repeatedly with the same set of friends, you can save time by creating a share group. Share groups can include unlimited number of users, and can be used again and again to share many documents, photo albums and other KeepandShare information.

The Groups Panel

All management of the share groups is done using the Groups Panel. To display the panel, either:

  1. Click on the blue 'Groups' link under the Sharing control.
  2. Or, click on the 'Groups' link on the blue bar.
