Private Sharing Beta Now Available for Dump Truck

We are excited to announce the Beta of the new Private Sharing feature for Dump Truck. Using the Dump Truck Web App, users can now use Private Sharing to easily and securely collaborate on files and folders with other Dump Truck users. This new feature is ideal for small businesses, and for sharing files with family and friends. Users can also easily invite anyone to access shared folders and assign a permission level, with just an email address. When a privately shared file or folder is changed, added or deleted, the changes synchronize to all users who have joined the share.

Previously, Dump Truck only enabled users to share files and/or folders with others via a Public Link. Users also had the option to add an expiration date and a password to the link but they could not collaborate on these files. The new Private Sharing feature now allows for collaboration, easy access and secure sharing!

Dump Truck Private Sharing Features

• Any changes to a folder will show up for all users who have access to it, allowing for easier and better collaboration
• There are multiple permission level options for each folder. You can also edit the permission level after you share the folder
• Unlike many competitors, we support Read Only access. If you choose this option, users can view files but cannot modify them
• With the right permission levels, users can move, rename and edit shared files and folders
• Users can access shared files across all Dump Truck desktop, mobile and web applications

Privately shared files will be synced to your desktop using the Dump Truck desktop app. We recently updated the Dump Truck Macand Windows apps to version 1.2.2 to support the Private Sharing beta. In order to use Private Sharing, you must update the Dump Truck desktop app. Note: You could lose some of your data if you don’t update your apps first. Update from within the app by clicking on “Update Available” in the main menu, or you can download the latest version of the app on our website.

• Compatibility with Private Sharing folder permissions
