idgard® iOS App: Share box

Sharing  box -  One-time access for users without license

You use the “Share Box” feature when:

• You would like to grant an external guest without an idgard® license “one-time access” to download documents.
  
  
  
• You would like to allow an idgard® user with a license from another idgard® account to access the documents in this Box.

Please note the following: Each PrivacyBox you create is sealed. If you want to use the “Share Box” feature, you must suspend the seal. The Box is opened as long as you enable access to this Box (access contingent > 0).

If you would like to share the Box with someone, they will be granted “one-time access” to download documents, provided that they do not have an idgard® license. After the quota of accesses is exhausted (access contingent = 0), the Box is automatically resealed and the link will no longer be valid. The administrator of your idgard® account may enforce the use of a pass code.

   

Proceed as follows:

• Open a Box.
• Tap the 3-dot menu in the top-right corner.
  
• Tap on "Edit Box" .
• Remove the Box seal by moving the slider to the left .
• Define the number of accesses to the Box.
• If you would like to set a pass code, activate “More options” and the “Enable pass code” feature.

Sending the Box Link

You can send the Box link via e-mail if an e-mail client has been set up on your iPad or iPhone.

Proceed as follows:

• Tap and hold the Box name to access the “Share Box via E-Mail” feature.
• When you tap this feature, the invitation text with the Box link is added to your e-mail client and you can then modify it as required.
• Enter the address of the recipient and send the Box link.
