Receiving Notifications and Downloading Files

How do you know someone shared a file with you?

The built-in notification system of FileAegis™ helps you never miss any important shared files by sending email notifications (which can be disabled by unchecking the box on the personal settings page) and giving notifications through the icon   in the upper right corner.

In addition, you may also see files shared with you by:

• receiving a file link sent by the user sharing the file through email or communication apps
• checking the file list (which needs to be set to be sorted by date since the latest shared file is not always displayed at the top)
• viewing the Dashboard (which only shows the latest 5 shared files)

This chapter explains how to view system notifications.
