Links to shared Files

When you share a folder or a folder is shared with you, that contains a lot of subfolders, it often is annoying to navigate through the entire structure or to explain to others how to get to a specific file. You can create a link that leads to a specific folder that has been shared. This only works if the folder that you shared is located in your root directory! The link has the following form:

https://<institution of the person that you are sharing with>.sciebo.de/?dir=/<Path>/<to>/<the>/<directory>/
