Collaborating and sharing files and folder using Dump Truck secure online storage is now a lot easier. Golden Frog just made available its new Private Sharing beta feature for Dump Truck to all Giganews users. Using the Dump Truck Web App, users can now use Private Sharing to easily and securely collaborate on files and folders with other Dump Truck users. This new feature is ideal for small businesses, and for sharing files with family and friends. Giganews users can also easily invite anyone to access shared folders and assign a permission level, with just an email address. When a privately shared file or folder is changed, added or deleted, the changes synchronize to all users who have joined the share.

Previously, Dump Truck only enabled users to share files and/or folders with others via a Public Link. Users also had the option to add an expiration date and a password to the link but they could not collaborate on these files. The new Private Sharing feature now allows for collaboration, easy access and secure sharing!

Dump Truck Private Sharing Features

• Any changes to a folder will show up for all users who have access to it, allowing for easier collaboration
• There are multiple permission level options for each folder. You can also edit the permission level after you share the folder
• Unlike many competitors, Dump Truck supports Read-Only access. If you choose this option, users can view files but cannot modify them
• With the right permission levels, users can move, rename and edit shared files and folders
• Users can access shared files across all Dump Truck desktop, mobile and web applications
