LIMITATIONS, SECURITY AND THE PAID PLAN

    I’m investigating cloudwok as a solution for my business and want to ask about privacy and security of uploaded content. The use case is a portal for clients of an accounting firm to send us documents. I notice that the link with the wok ID on the end https://www.cloudwok.com/sh/%5Bid here] will take me to the folder and I can view its contents. The wok id is easily attainable, so the uploaded files are public. Is there a way to configure the wok to ensure the folder is private? or is there a setting in dropbox I need to use for this?

    I tested connecting a second dropbox account as a second “cloud storage”. I then went to create a second wok that used the second cloud storage account as the destination. It looked like it just linked it to the first dropbox account and wasn’t able to use a second one. I was not logged into dropbox on my browser as I created the 2nd wok. Is this a limitation or a bug?

    I’m looking at one of the paid plans. Can I customize the “thanks for uploading” message?

    Dear Isaac,

    thanks for your message and sorry that we kept you waiting for so long!! We actually found your note very interesting and based on that we did some security enhancements.

    Secure access:
    By now all /sh/ links to access any file or folder in your cloud has a different (any more complex) hashid. There is no way to derive this ID from the wok’s hasid. The has for file access has now 16 characters and only people you shared the files will will be able to get access. That’s now similar to getting a shared link e.g. directly from Dropbox or Drive.
    The reason why we cannot set all files invisible for all /sh/ links in case “Show files” is deactivated is that all links in notifications and in particular the email attachment upload feature will not be working then anymore.

    Second Dropbox:
    It should actually be possible to link two different Dropboxes to the same account. When creating a wok there should be an additional drop down to select the Dropbox you’d like to create the folder in (I attached a screen shot on how it’s supposed to look like). Can you see that selection when you create a new wok as well?
    I suppose you saw the Your Cloud Storages Tab. Here both of your Dropbox accounts should be listed.

    Customized success message:
    In case you embed CloudWok in your own webpage you’ll be able to customize the message (just check https://www.cloudwok.com/developers). For the regular upload page(s) it is not possible right now.

    Again sorry that we kept you waiting. I hope my response gave you some answers you were looking for. For further clarification – especially that we sort out the two Dropboxes for you – please get back to me any time. Next answer will come quicker ??

    Best regards
