Creating published directories

Formalizing and structuring knowledge within an organization and thus making it easily communicable becomes quite simple with them. With its published directories, luckycloud offers an ideal complement to its file sharing features. luckycloud's public directories make team collaboration even easier.

Published directories + Sync & Share = Maximum Collaboration

The success of Wikipedia proves: public directories are ideally suited for encyclopedias. But not only for that. The open and intuitive way in which information is recorded, processed and linked in them also makes them suitable for documenting other, less structured data. Work processes and instructions, how-to guides, and FAQs are just three examples of applications in which published directories play to their strengths as practical knowledge containers.

luckycloud's public directories can be used equally for internal knowledge management and for publishing information intended for the general public.
Publishing a directory is done with one click - and, if necessary, undone. Editing articles in a published directory is easy thanks to the integrated
WYSIWYG editor, even for technically inexperienced users. Its powerful editing functions for texts, images and tables, however,

Implementation of published directories in luckycloud.

A published directory is mapped in luckycloud storage as an ordinary directory. The owner of the directory can therefore share it with other users for collaborative editing by using the native luckycloud features, copy and sync it to local devices, and share individual contributions with third parties for editing. A user who is familiar with the permission management of luckycloud will therefore also immediately find his or her way around published directories.

The menu item Published directories in the sidebar displays directories that have already been published and allows additional directories to be published. A published library is accessible on the Internet under the URL of the luckycloud web interface, supplemented by the folder name of the published library (e.g. cloud.example.de/published/wiki).

Markdown files serve as containers for wiki contributions. These can contain text, images, tables, checklists and links. luckyclouds published directories also support the linking of relevant files. Correspondingly linked files are displayed directly in the page of the published library and can be accessed directly.
