| | Return to placeholder file Is it possible to remove a file, but instead of having it deleted on all computers, simply remove it locally and have a placeholder take its place? |

You can delete a file temporarily and harmlessly on just one computer if that computer holds a junior membership of the library with privileges of just Reader or Contributor and also so long as you refrain from running FolderShare on that computer. The file will be write-protected and I hope you know how to cope with that. If your membership is junior then the next time you run FolderShare the deleted file will be replaced, but if your membership is of a higher level (Editor, Senior Editor or Owner) then the next time you run FolderShare on that computer the deletion will be propagated from that machine to computers of the other library members.

| | Re: Return to placeholder file Note: The library is not shared with anyone else, it is only for me. Is it possible to apply those permissions to a computer, as opposed to an account? I got it working as I wanted, but it required me to set up a second account for my second computer (which I would prefer not to do). "Anthony R.

| | Re: Return to placeholder file Hi Brad, The FolderShare permissions are applied per FolderShare account and not per machine. Let us know if you have any further questions.
