I posted this in the sharing area and never got a response, so I'm hoping it will get some sort of recognition here...

There are many threads that touch on this in passing but I haven't been able to find a set answer anywhere.

I just received my pogoplug, hooked up my HD and am going to share my picture folders with a few friends.  I set it up as password protected so I imagine they will get an email saying I'm sharing something with them, they will then have to create an account with a password in order to sign in and view said pictures.  

Now there is a lot of talk about sharing and this two week time limit.  What is this all about?! I couldn't figure it out for the life of me.  Does it mean...

a) they have two weeks to take action to the email or their "invite" expires.  (which makes sense... no need for an endless invite)

b) even if they create an account they only get two weeks of access to the folders before they get "locked out" and would require another invite to gain access (which seems ridiculous...)

C) Something else all together.

Please advise.  Having to reinvite them every few weeks could be a major deal breaker and more than likely result in my returning the product, which otherwise seems pretty freaking cool.

Thanks!

I can tell you that the answer is NOT "b". I've been sharing secure folders with people for months and only had to send out the one email to them. They created a password, logged in, and that's all there was to it. I'm pretty sure the 2 weeks is just in relation to the initial invite. Perhaps one of the devs can provide a more definitive answer...

I keep sharing my link with my brother and he has a login. According to him, after 2 weeks or so, he gets locked out and I have to send him another invite or delete the share and share it again. Is this how it is supposed to work or is there something that I need to do on my end to give him permanent access?
