Real-Time Synchronization with file locking


On the file icon, a lock will appear to indicate that the file is locked for editing. Users can still look into the file or create a new copy of the file.

Every user can request information about the user that locked the file. Administrators can always override and remove the file lock.

Who can lock files in the cloud?


Any user with whom vBoxxCloud has been shared has the ability to lock files in the cloud. This is useful not only for ensuring that no work is lost, but also for preventing unwanted changes from being made while working on the document. Version collisions can occur when two people work on the same document at the same time.

Free guest users who have access to the cloud cannot use the option to lock files in the cloud.
