Adding a bookmark

Bookmarks are shortcut links to directories within your WebShare account. Using Bookmarks, you can conveniently create shortcuts to your most frequently accessed directories. You can also create shortcuts to other users' directories to which you have access.

Your bookmarks are located below your user name in the left navigation bar. WebShare automatically bookmarks your home directory and the root directory.

WebShare allows you to control access to your files in four different ways: You must have Read access on a directory in order to bookmark it. Once you bookmark a directory, it appears in your list of bookmarks every time you login. The name that displays is the name of the bookmark, but you may view the entire path of the bookmarked directory by mousing-over the bookmark's name. You can change the name of a bookmark or delete a bookmark by clicking "Edit" in the Bookmarks section on the left side of the page.

Warning: If you change the name of a file or directory for which you have a bookmark, WebShare does not update the bookmark.

To bookmark a directory:

1. Navigate to the directory to which you would like to create a bookmark.
2. Click the Add bookmark button, in the top toolbar.

OR

1. Click the "Edit" link in the Bookmarks section in the left navigation bar.
2. Click the Add Bookmark button from the top toolbar.
3. Enter a name for the bookmark in the "Bookmark Name" field.
4. Enter the exact path for the directory or browse for the directory in the "Directory" field. If you choose to type in the path, you must include the top-level directory within this path and the path must be exact. If you do not know the exact directory name, find it using the Browse button.
5. Click the Ok button.
