To see files and folders on your Network Storage outside your shared folder, click "Advanced" after you log into ACL Manager.

2. Click on Advanced.
3. If needed, click on the plus signs or folder names in the left pane to navigate to the appropriate location on your Network Storage.
4. In the right hand pane, click on the folder or file's sharing icon.
5. To grant access to the item, type a valid Oak ID in the New Oak ID box, click the appropriate rights, and click Add. Repeat this step for any additional users.
6. To revoke access for one or more Oak IDs, click Edit. Then click the Remove box for those individuals. To modify access rights for one or more Oak IDs, click the appropriate buttons for those individuals. Then click Save Changes.
7. When you are finished, click Browse Files to return to the main view or close your browser to log out.

Viewing Shared Items by Browsing to a Folder.

1. Follow your normal process for logging into Network Storage, but use the following shortened URL:
   https://webdav.ohio.edu/.
2. Enter your Oak ID and password when prompted.
3. Double click on the first letter of the Oak ID of the person who is hosting the shared item.
4. Double click on the second letter of the Oak ID of the person who is hosting the shared item.
5. Double click on the Oak ID of the person who is hosting the shared item.
6. If the item is not yet visible, navigate the individual's folder structure by double clicking the appropriate folder(s). When in doubt, try double clicking the folder called 'shared'.
7. Drag the appropriate item(s) onto your hard drive. If you have been granted write access to a folder, you also can drag and drop items from your hard drive into that shared folder.
8. Close your browser to log out.

Viewing Shared Items by Using a Folder URL.

Shared items can be reached with fewer clicks by typing the entire Network Storage URL when logging in:

• Follow your normal process for logging into Network Storage, but use the following URL in place of your own:
  https://webdav.ohio.edu/~HostingOakID/path.
• Replace HostingOakID with the Oak ID of the person who is hosting the shared item.
• Replace /path with the path to the shared item within the hosting individual's Network Storage. For example:.
• https://webdav.ohio.edu/~omalley/shared/workgroup would open a folder called 'workgroup' inside Oak user omalley's shared folder.
• https://webdav.ohio.edu/~so530885/assignments would display shared files and folders in Oak user so530885's 'assignments' folder.
• https://webdav.ohio.edu/~saters would display any shared items in the root level of Oak user saters's Network Storage.
• Enter your Oak ID and password when prompted.
• Drag the appropriate shared item(s) onto your hard drive. If you have been granted write access to this folder, you also can drag and drop items from your hard drive into this folder.
• Close your browser to log out.
