This situation must have happened to every person on the planet a number of times: You had been looking for something for 30 minutes; you searched every drawer in your desk, checked the kitchen table, looked literally in every nook and cranny. Then, burning with rage, you started to examine contents of your refrigerator, opened the oven, went out to dig for it in a dumpster. Nothing! Eventually, you returned home downhearted and.. there it was! On top of your desk!
Sharing documents with CodeTwo Public Folders is sometimes pretty much the same for our users. Some of them assume that this is going to be so difficult that they don’t even think of doing it. Others try to doing it in a way even our software developers aren’t aware of. I know what you’re thinking right now: “OK smarty-pants! Stop taking the Mickey out of me and tell me how to do it!”.
Well, the solution is just around the corner and it is as simple as looking for something on your desk first. It is enough if you create an Outlook folder (Mail and Post Items) and then simply drag&drop your files onto it. That’s it! No magic needed. Using this method and CodeTwo Public Folders, you can share Office documents, PDF files, MP3, AVI, JPG, ZIP, RAR and many more.
The users of CodeTwo Public Folders frequently ask questions about a location of local data file. By default, a local PST file issaved on drive C, in the Application Data folder of the user currently logged into Windows. However, this path can be easily changed if the need arise.
This is a very useful feature for users who cannot store any data on drive C due to policy reasons or simply because of having not enough free space.
Detailed instructions on how to change the location of the PST file can be found in our Knowledge Base. Bear in mind you need to use CodeTwo Public Folders 4.5 or newer.
