Family

Use a private network to share content in a more comfortable environment.

Use Case Examples

Different ways that a family can use a private network.

  • Planning a Trip: Create a new folder for the intended destination, add notes for preparations or using a journal during the trip, share websites for logistics or things to do, add event email alerts for extra preparation and upload photos taken into documents.

  • Staying Connected: If living in separate locations, use different tools to stay connected with each other. Including an event email alert for birthdays and anniversaries, photos of special occasions or websites of local webcams in the area.

  • Health Information: Create a folder to share only with others as appropriate.

  • Sharing Recipes: Share secret family recipes or newly found creations. Add into a note with a bullet list for ingredients and a numbered list for instructions.

  • Hobbies: Store information and content about any favorite hobbies shared with your network, such as photos from fishing, gardening tips in notes, or keep informed of changes with sharing relevant blogs.

Types of Users

Add Basic users to view, add or edit content from folders you’ve shared with them. If users are more involved, they can be changed to Advanced users to create and share their own folders or content.
