Project folders make it easy to share files between project members and with all of the CloudShare VMs in your project.
Your personal cloud folder is the cloud repository feature that allows you to move files from your local PC into your CloudShare VMs. Personal cloud folders allow only you to read and write access for those files, from all machines in your environment and from all environments you have access to.
The project folder is an additional cloud repository that allows project members to share files with each other. The project folder allows read and write access to all project members within a project, making them especially well suited to share:
- Code - when you have a code update that you want to share with others.
- Utilities - such as installation files for 7zip, Notepad++ etc.
- Project management artifacts - such as project plans, test plans, and test results.
- Any other files - certificates, documents, binaries, etc.
The project folder is accessed the same way you access your personal cloud folders, uploading by FTP/FTPS and downloading to VMs using linked folders in the VMs.
Project folders are always visible and do not need to be enabled in the CloudShare UI.
