Everyday life with FileDrive Online

How do I use FileDrive, for example if I want to share files or folders?


FileDrive is cloud-based file storage where you can access your files online. To do this, go to the website https://filedrive.hosit.dk. Log in with your email address and password (the same password you use for Remote Desktop or your email account).

Sharing documents and folders

If you want to share documents in FileDrive, this must be done via FileDrive Online.

In the menu on the left, under the menu item Shares see the different drives you have access to via FileDrive Online (1).

Navigate to the folder or document you want to share. Hover over the folder or document and click Share symbol (2).

Note! If you share a folder, you also share all the content in that folder. This means you don't have to share every single document in the folder.

You can now choose whether you want to copy the link to the document to the clipboard (3) if you want to send the link via chat, or you can send the link in an email (4).

You can click on Share options You can also choose to set some restrictions on the document for who can open the link (5).

When the recipient subsequently clicks on the link to the document, they will be presented with the following page where the file can be downloaded (6).

If you have shared a folder, the recipient will be presented with the contents of the folder in the web interface when they open the link.

If you have chosen that the recipient should only be able to open the document or folder using a password, you must inform the recipient of the password you have chosen.
When the recipient opens the link, they will be asked to enter the password (7).
