Feature request.

For the new version, is it possible ask password open foldershare interface?
Just like the no-ip client, if anyone want to change the setting, need put
the password first. At least password for the "My foldershare" website

I have 4 offices using folder share to share many different folders, I
really feel insecure since everyone on those computers can just click my
foldershare and start mess up the libraries.

RE: Feature request.

Hello Daniel,

If I understand you correctly, then I have what I believe is a helpful answer.

In theory, you would first of all use your original account details. ie.
Login - DanielWang@xxxxxx, password : your password.

You can then keep that password secret and treat the main computer like an
admin server side equivalent.

Then, you create a single email address(foldershare login)to use for each of
the other computers.
This way, your own sync folders will be untouchable, as long as your
workstation is always secured under your personal protocols.
Unfortunately, the other computers will still be under threat for 'dissed'
employees, so its not a perfect solution and I am now wondering why I
bothered lol. Still, it is better than before, I hope.

I tried that, but if you lost the benefit of the easy control. if I want to
change some library, I have to login into 5 different computers, instead of
one.

So the best way is, have an option to ask password to change library.

Great suggestion - it is rather too easy to get in and muck-up the
settings....
