Not Exactly A Drop Box
Authored by: dontlikehippies on Nov 13, '03 08:16:24PM

I probably should have mentioned that my drop box was, for some reason, not a drop box. I'm not sure why, but everything in the folder was globally readable.

Not Exactly A Drop Box
Authored by: rhi on May 27, '04 11:54:28PM

I am having the opposite problem...and I know I'm kind of starting a new thread here but I wasnt sure where else to post a plea...

We use drop boxes where I work to put our shared client files so that all our designers have access to them. So we want them to be fully accessible.

The problem is, no matter how many times you tell it to allow read and write to guests or anyone it likes to revert back by itself.

The button to 'apply to all enclosed items' does nothing...certainly doesnt apply anything to any enclosed items.

To compound this, if a someone actually makes a folder across the network, in someone else's drop box, the person whose computer it is on doesnt even have access to it!

All this is annoying but livable...it has just got worse however. I'm now trying to archive some stuff onto cd and I cant burn it cause half of it is from other people's computers originally and the permissions are all screwed. It looks like I have to go through and individually change each items permissions!!

I've already made 5 coasters trying to get it to work.

Can anybody help?

I'm using 10.2.8
