Personal Mailbox

Purpose

To receive data from unregistered users via a personal TeamBeam-Link.

Details

If the feature 'Personal Mailbox' is configured on a user's Storagehost, AND if he/she has the right 'Personal Mailbox', he/she may activate their personal mailbox by going to tabs Transfer Data -> Receive Data and clicking Create new personal Mailbox. Image

After creation, users will get a public URL that can be sent to any person that wishes to send the users files via TeamBeam. In addition to the public URL; Users can create their own unique short URL. Image

Once any of the two links is clicked, a receive transfer dialog will open enabling anyone to send a transfer to the owner of the personal mailbox via the TeamBeam service. Image

If the right 'Personal Mailbox' is being revoked from a user, any exiting personal mailbox ceases to work. If the right 'Personal Mailbox' is re-granted, a previously created Personal Mailbox works again.
