Shared folder never appeared to the other other account

Hello Everyone,

i just shared a folder to an another account but the other account:

  1. The e-mail sent to the other account had a different (old) name of the shared folder,
  2. The acceptance returns an error, so the folder never appeared to the other account
  3. me (as the administrator of the folder) cannot even remove the new account that i shared the folder with.

Does anyone has an idea how to deal with this problem?

  • Hello Mark,

     

    thank you for your reply.

     

    I tried several thing but i could do nothing, so i let it the way it was and after almost 8-10 hours it appeared on it's own. I really do not undestand what happened or what changed but now it is working properly.

     

    Thank you again your your reply.

    Hi conchristodoulou 

     

    1) Shared folders will always keep the name it was initially given. There is no way to change that other than setting up a new share. Remember that people can rename and move it around as much as they'd like

    2) What is the error?

    3) Why not? What is it saying?
