Starting from 6.0.6 release, AnyShare aborted the auto lock in File Lock, and replaced it with manual lock. The advantages of Manual Lock are as follows:
· Supports lock, unlock, and grab lock in various terminal.
· Locking files on demands.
· Supports all file types, and the file owner can grab edit permission (grab lock).
To elaborate more about Manual Lock, let’s take AnyShare Mac as an example:
1. Lock a file: Pick the file you want to lock (make certain you have edit permission for it),then find and click the Lock icon in pop-up list. The locked file shall be opened as read-only by others.
2. Unlock a file: After editing, you shall close the locked file and click the unlock icon in pop-up list to make the file editable.
3. Grab Lock: Your owned files may be locked by some other permission-possessed users. If you want to edit the locked files, you can click the Grab Lock icon. The locking status will be updated in the Attributes.
