🔔 Troubleshooting

 

Why am I unable to share folders?

By default you are able to share files, but not folders. Learn more on: how to manage files and folder sharing permissions.

Why am I unable to share content?

There may be multiple reasons why. Go through our check-list to rule out any barriers!

  • Share Permissions: Your Showell workspace administrator can set file restrictions and therefore make certain content unable to share. Please contact your Workspace administrator if you have questions regarding this.
  • Outdated Showell App: Make sure your app is always up to date, every update comes with new features and fixes
  • No default email app: If you are unable to share via email, make sure you have configured an email application on your device. Showell will use the default email application of your device to send out the share.
  • No internet connection: If you share without an internet connection, Showell will save the Share as a draft. Once an internet connection is established, you can send the Share from your 'Shares' menu.
