Basic Usage

  • 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).




Example Workflow for Peer-To-Peer Mode

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.



SCREENSHOTS

Example Workflow for Via-School-Server Mode

NOTES

    • An entry present in "School Server Shares", is available to all the XOs. There isn't any mounting or anything required as such.
    • Note that the entries present in "School Server Shares", have nothing to do with the entries present in "Local Shares".
    • In the following screenshots' example, an XO uploads an entry to the school-server, and then downloads the same. HOWEVER, NOTE THAT ANY XO WOULD BE ABLE TO DOWNLOAD THE ENTRY PRESENT ON THE SCHOOL-SERVER, AND NOT ONLY NECESSARILY THE UPLOADER.
