This blog explains how you can use your HCP Trial Instance with SAP Document Center (formerly known as SAP Mobile Documents) enabled for easy file sharing.
Prerequisite
HCP Trial Account with activated Mobile Documents Service
Once you have set up your personal HCP Mobile Documents Trial, you can upload files into your
My Documents area using drag&drop.
Now you would like to share them with others.
This is how you do it:
Enable Sharing
To use the ready-to-use file sharing capabilities of SAP Mobile Documents, you need to enable sharing in the Admin UI:
In the HANA Cloud Cockpit - Services - Mobile Documents area
Go to Service Configuration --> Configure Mobile Documents
In the SAP Mobile Documents Admin UI, go to
SETTINGS -->
Shared Documents
Check
Allow Sharing
Set the other parameters for sharing according to your preference.
Click
Save
When you now log back on to the end user Web UI of SAP Mobile Documents, you will see that the
Shared tab appeared.
Share your files
To share files, just select them and click
Copy to Share or
Move to Share depending on your scenario.
Click
Create Share
Enter a name for the share.
Select the option
Anyone with the link has access.
You can set an
expiration date or
password protection. Enable the option
Write Permission if you want the recipient to also be able to upload or delete files.
Do not select the option Share with Membersi for now. This is described in the blog Collaborate with colleagues.
Click Save.
Copy the URL and provide it to the recipient. Alternatively click Send Mail with Link to Share.
Using this URL, the recipient can access the files (if he has the password, that you might have set for the share) ...
