Downloading ZeroTier and Connecting

Adding Content to a Space

This promotional content explains Edit Share's media space feature, which functions like a physical hard drive for collaborative file management. Users with read-write access can perform standard file operations like drag-and-drop, copy-paste, and folder creation, while read-only users can browse and copy files. Once files are added to a media space, they become instantly accessible to all team members across Mac, Windows, and Linux platforms, eliminating the need for physical file transfers. The system enables real-time collaboration where team members can rename, move, and organize files together, though communication is important since changes affect the entire team. Edit Share positions this as a storage solution designed to match natural workflow patterns.

 

Checking Storage and Quotas

This video demonstrates how Editor Connect provides users with clear visibility into their storage usage across media spaces, showing both total quota and used space in an easy-to-read format. The system includes warning notifications when approaching storage limits and offers options to clear content or request quota increases. Additionally, administrators can grant limited admin rights to users, allowing them to manage quotas, add or remove users from spaces, and create new spaces directly within Edit Share Connect, providing greater flexibility and control for media management workflows.

 

Logging in to EditShare Connect
