Sharing one folder with multiple guest users
I am not sure if I did something wrong or what triggered this behaviour but let me describe what I did and what happened:
I selected one folder > clicked share with users > add users > add guest user > added the name and email of user A > added the name and email of user B > adjusted the permissions of both to download only and clicked apply.
Furthermore, I then checked the emails which were sent out to see if they were properly sent and found two outgoing emails:
Email a) was sent to user A and email b) was sent to user A AND user B both directly addressed in the TO: section.
Now this is not a problem as I was sharing with both of them intentionally, and they are one team, but I suppose the emails to multiple people should not be sent out together, right?
Here is what it looks like on Gmail as I use their SMTP server:
Customer support service by UserEcho
Anyone? Did I do something wrong? I assume the emails should be sent individually and not via CC, right?
Curious, how is your server set up to deliver e-mails? Are you using a SMTP server or the default behavior / options which I believe use the PHP Mail function?
On my installation, I can right click a folder or file, and choose SHARE... from there, I can choose EMAIL as my destination (making sure the WEBLINKS option is checked to avoid large attachments). There is a TO: section as well as a BCC: section. When sharing temporarily with guests, this avoids the need to explicitly create users.
Thanks for checking. I use an SMTP server and as I said, I did not share via email but as described I used guest users:
I selected one folder > clicked share with users > add users > add guest user > added the name and email of user A > added the name and email of user B > adjusted the permissions of both to download only and clicked apply.
See my response from 5 days ago... you might want to try the method I suggested to e-mail links WITHOUT the need to create guest users, AND you can determine if the same behavior occurs. If it does NOT then there is a bug within Filerun with regard to sharing with guests.
