Accepting an invitation to shared items
If you receive an email with an invitation to share another person's folder and accept it by clicking Accept Share a dialog box will open up.
Here you can rename the folder and select what color it should have. You can also choose to send a reply message that you have accepted. When you click Yes, a copy of the folder will be placed in the left column in your account and the e-mail message will automatically be moved to the Trash.
You can change name and color again at a later stage if you right-click the folder and select Edit Properties.
Accepting a sharing through a link
If you haven't received an invitation via email or misplaced it, you can still accept the sharing by right-clicking on the heading in the left column and then select "Link to the shared..."
The dialog box "Link to the shared..." opens up for you to type in the email address of the person who set up a sharing to you and also the path to the shared folder. If you don't know the path to the folder you can find it by going to Preferences > Sharing. Under the title ”Folders that have been shared with me but not yet accepted”, you enter the email address to the one who has set up the shared folder and click Find Shares.
