Restrict folders access on a device


To restrict folders access on a device

  1. Open the file explorer.
  2. Navigate to the system folder that was set during configuration.
  3. Navigate down to folder Binfer\Conf.
  4. Locate a file called allowed-folders-{account-id}.sec. If a file by this name does not exist, then create one. For example, if the account id is user1@somedomain.com, then the file would be named allowed-folders-user1@somedomain.com.sec.
  5. Open the file in a text editor.
  6. Type/paste the full folder paths, one on each line.
  7. Save and close the file.
  8. All folder views will now be restricted to the folders that were set.

Examples

Replace the {USER_NAME} with the actual user name who had logged in and installed Binfer.
