QShare Tutorials - Searches

QShare 7.2 has an enhanced search feature. Now it is possible to search almost all file types for both a word in the name of the file or for a phrase within the document.

 

Since the search functions are so strong it is more important than ever to ensure that you set permissions that allow only the intended users to see your files.
