Creating and Managing Bookmarks

Bookmarks can be very useful tools. They allow you to move immediately to the folder you have bookmarked, in your QShare or in someone else's QShare.

 

To bookmark a folder or file you must have read access to that folder or file.  If a bookmarked folder or file is moved, deleted, renamed or the read permissions are removed the bookmark will be broken.

 

Create a Bookmark

1. Move to the folder or file you want to bookmark 
   • Right mouse click the folder or file
   • From the flyout menu select New Bookmark
   
2. The New Bookmark screen will open 
   • The Bookmark Name: field has the name of the file or folder.  You can change this to something more descriptive if you like.
   • The Bookmark Location: is your bookmarks.  Leave the default setting.
