Same file Different folders
Hi there, I need to know if it's possible to make changes on a file which is shared with many different members, I mean the same file exists in different folders and I want to change it once for al...
Hey Sondos944 - welcome to our Community!
What Здравко mentions is valid for files that are explicitly within shared folders.
If you'd like to update/change this file on one location and have the changes reflect on other places (other folders, shared folders etc.) too, this won't be possible as these files would be different copies of the file in question (having different file-paths etc.).
I hope this clears things up a tad and please let us know if you have any follow up questions.
Everybody receiving shared folder can 'mount' this (same) folder using different name and place, so, in this context shortest answer is: Yes, it's possible.
- Can you explain more, please?
