From My.pogoplug.com you can share with him a folder. When you turn on sharing there is an option to allow him to upload also. He would then only have read/write to that folder.

Hey RG,

There is currently no way to limit size aside from drive / partition size. You could set up multiple partitions with everyone getting read access to all of them, but write access only to one (so mom gets 100 GB but sis only gets 50, and your cousin gets 400) so everyone can see everything, but only write a certain amount. Hope that helps!

I have tried to allow friends to upload so I created a folder, clicked share, entered the email addresses and clicked the "read/write" button next to their name.

When they open the email and click on the link, they go to the folder and there's no button or menu to allow them to upload.

Do they have to JOIN pogoplug to upload?

thanks

the real question, of course, is how they can JOIN. There are no instructions for a user to set up a pogoplug account, and the link on the shared access page, where they can supposedly set themselves up for permanent access, doesn't work. so even if you get the upload problem fixed, they are only going to be able to use it for 2 weeks.

Not sure what you mean.

They should see this:

And when clicked see this:

My daughter had the same issue with it expiring after 2 weeks. I search google and came to this forum stream. I send the link to this page and told her to look at the screenshot BC posted near the bottom. She text me back saying she sees it now and created an account. Thanks. Good post.

Make sure you have given her full access in the sharing settings. You do this with the drop down box beside her email address. Clicking the X in front of the email address in the sharing settings will delete that address. You can then add it again.

Well, supposedly, all you need to do to grant someone "upload" privledges to your shared folder is to set their access (next to their shared email address) to "full". Having said that, I've done this for a couple family members and they can see and download, but still can't upload. So .... I think there is a problem somewhere. I'm waiting or a response on another post.

Let me know if this works for you, please.
