CodeTwo Public Folders is an Outlook extension, allowing many network users to share their resources with each
other. All users can work with the same data simultaneously. Each change in the shared folders made by one
user becomes immediately visible to other users. Users can create, edit and delete folders and items of any
type available in Outlook (calendars, contacts, email messages, tasks, journals, notes) and even create folders with Office documents (such as Word docs or Excel spreadsheets).
From the user's point of view, working with shared folders looks exactly the same as working with Outlook personal folders. This is a considerable advantage as users do not have to learn to operate the new software and can start using Outlook for group work immediately. Installation Installation and configuration of the software is straightforward. First install the server module on one of the computers in the local network (does not require any configuration). Then, install the client modules on the machines you want to have access to the shared folders. If you want to quickly check how CodeTwo Public Folders works, you don't even have to install the server module - you can connect to our internet demo server. More...

Sharing public folders In the shared public folders in Outlook, users can share data and work simultaneously, creating group calendars, contact lists, shared inboxes and outboxes, group tasks, etc. More... Access rights to shared folders Access rights to the shared folders can be freely defined by their owners and administrators using a convenient user interface. More... Offline mode It is possible to work with data in public folders even when a computer is not connected to the network. All changes in that case will be saved locally and synchronized with the data on the server once the connection is restored. The ability to work in the offline mode is especially helpful for users who are often outside the office and use portable computers. More... Client-Server Architecture CodeTwo Public Folders consists of two separate modules: server and client. The client module enables the use of public folders in Outlook. The server module is used for communication and data synchronization between all the client modules. More... |
