* This feature helps share Journal/Documents/Mounted-Drives' entries across XOs, via the following two mechanisms ::
  −
 
  −
 
  −
 
  −
**Peer-to-Peer mode
  −
*** Sharing in this mode is possible, only when the server and client XO(s) are on the same networks. Thus, peer-to-peer sharing would work on
  −
**** XOs connected to the same Access Point.
  −
**** Adhoc-Network connections.
  −
 
  −
 
  −
 
  −
**Via-School-Server mode
  −
*** In this mode, an XO uploads an entry to the central School Server; from where the client XO(s) may download the entry.
  −
*** This mode of sharing works as long as the School-Server is HTTP-pingable between the server and client XOs. Thus, this mode of sharing would work when
  −
**** XOs are connected to the same Access Point (as long as school-server is pingable throughout).
  −
**** XOs are connected to the different Access Points (as long as school-server is pingable throughout).
  −
**** XOs are conencted to Adhoc-Network (as long as school-server is pingable throughout).

** Showed why simply accessing the webdav shares via "Browse" activity won't work.
  −
** The reason is that accessing Sugar-WebDAV shares via "Browse" (or in any browser), would show only the availability of files. But a Sugar-entry is more than just the (data) file; it is a combination of

== NOTES ==

** An entry present in "Local Shares", is available to other peers, when the peer(s) mount this XO's shares.
  −
** Note that the entries present in "Local Shares", have nothing to do with the entries present in "School Server Shares".
  −
** In the following screenshots' example, "PEER 2" mounts the shares of "PEER 1"; and uses that to copy entries onto its own XO. Thus, the entry is copied from XO-of-PEER-1 to XO-of-PEER-2.

* Inter-copying an entry between Journal/Documents/Mounted-Drives/Local-Shares/School-Server-Shares should behave in the same way. For eg, in the peer-to-peer mode, it was shown that the source-entry (on PEER-1) had a preview; the same was true when the entry finally arrived on PEER-2. In particular, the preview should "go along" as and when the entry goes, '''intra-XO''' or '''inter-XO'''.
