Click on links or thumbs to view enlarged images in a new window.

WebShare Action menu Create Dir
Allows creating a new directory in the sharepoint.

Rename
Allows renaming a file or directory in the sharepoint.

Permissions
Allows viewing and changing file or folder permissions. This feature is of great value, to allow setting permissions so that other users can be allowed or denied access to files and folders

Color labels
Macintosh operating systems up to Mac OS 9.x, and then again from Mac OS X 10.3 on, allow assigning color labels to files and folders. This feature "marks" files and folders in terms of e.g. importance or priority.
HELIOS WebShare offers the same functionality in its “Sharepoint” toolbar menu.

WebShare Status
Allows to monitor status information of the WebShare server, e.g. WebShare environment variables, active users and uploads/downloads.

WebShare Action menu

WebShare Custom Icons The icon view displays custom icons for files uploaded from Macintosh clients. If EtherShare is also installed on the host, or if the volume is an OS X HFS volume, then Macintosh application and document icons can be displayed as well. Otherwise, a default document icon is used. WebShare Custom Icons
WebShare Delete After one or more files have been marked by a click in the checkbox Select, clicking the Delete button will delete the files from the sharepoint. As a means of security, and to avoid inadvertent deletion, you will be asked to confirm the deletion by clicking the Remove Selected items button, or Cancel to remove all checkmarks. WebShare Delete
WebShare Document Previews WebShare can generate bitmap previews of QuarkXPress and Adobe InDesign documents. Utilizing these previews, local and remote users can preview and control InDesign and QuarkXPress documents from creation to final output, without needing access to the applications, documents, fonts, or images. For this feature to work, ImageServer must be installed on the host.

This functionality is also available for previews of PDF files (PDF HandShake must be installed on the host!).

Files/folders selected for download will be transfered to the client in the Zip file "download.zip". In addition to the selecet items, a file "DownloadLog.txt" is included. It contains a list of successfully downloaded items, and for the omitted items a short description why these were omitted. WebShare Download
