Shared Folder Direction Rights

Shared folders allows you to synchronize files between one or multiple office clients and multiple vessel clients.

By default, when a shared folder is created the assigned office clients have "Two way" direction right, meaning that they can both upload and download files.

On the other hand, vessel clients have "In" direction right, meaning that by default they can only download files. This is to avoid accidental synchronization of files from one vessel to the rest.

A third direction right named "Out" is available, and by selecting this option the said client can only upload files to the shared folder (this option is rarely used).

The direction settings can be configured by following the below steps:

1. Login to https://abela.io/
2. Click on Modules -> Drive

3. Locate the respective shared folder and click on it

   

4. Select the office or vessel client from the dropdown menu
5. Click on the cogwheel button under “Device Information” to edit the direction rights for that client
6. Select the desired direction right and click Save
