contentACCESS Mobile version 5.1

4.1.10.Sharing

When viewing a Sharing entity, the following properties can be seen (first, a folder needs to be selected from the entity):

  1. Item preview
  2. Sender’s email address – owner of the sharing
  3. Item name
  4. Location of the shared item – from which entity has it been shared
  5. Date of the sharing

After clicking on a shared item, a more detailed view opens.

The shared document can be opened by clicking on the icon on the details page. It works in the same way as the open function in the context menu (not all file formats are supported at the moment). The owner has access to all shared items, but the recipient can only open the file if it’s still active or the download limit has not been reached. Otherwise, the following error messages can appear when the user tries to open the shared item:

  • If the item is expired – “The requested file cannot be downloaded because it has expired.”
  • If the item reached the download limit – “The requested file cannot be downloaded because the download limit has been reached.”


The context menu of the shared item allows the following actions:

  • Open – opens the shared item (if it’s still active or the download limit hasn’t been reached)
  • Save file – saves the item to the internal storage, the item will appear in the Saved page
  • Show details – shows the sharing status (works the same way as in the contentACCESS Portal)
  • Modify sharing options – the sharing options can be changed here (recipients, expiration date, and download limit). Only the owner has access to this action, and it’s displayed only in the My Shares folder
  • Close – closes the context menu

  2. a) Active – the download limit hasn’t been reached and the sharing hasn’t expired

    b) Expired – the sharing expired (the expiration date has been reached)

    d) Unavailable – the download limit has been reached

  3. Shared by – shows the owner of the sharing
  4. Shared on – the date when the item was shared
  5. Expires on – the date when the sharing expires
