4 1 Introducing WatchDox for Mac WatchDox for Mac enables you to easily and intuitively sync and share your folders and files to collaborate with other users directly from your Mac. Installing WatchDox for Mac creates a WatchDox Folder on your Mac from where you can manage your files in workspaces and subfolders, just as with any folder on your computer. The WatchDox Folder is automatically synced with the WatchDox server and can be accessed from the WatchDox Web Application and on any other devices where you have WatchDox installed. The WatchDox Folder contains workspaces which are folders that you create or that are shared with you by other users. If you are a workspace owner, you are also assigned a personal workspace when you first sync with the WatchDox Web application. When using the Copy to My Workspace command, files are automatically placed in your personal folder. called My Workspace. Share your workspaces with other users. New files and changes you or other users make in a shared workspace are automatically updated to all the members of this workspace. Use WatchDox advanced features to restore changes, recover deleted files, and assign user roles (as Contributor with permissions to share file changes, or as Visitor without permissions to share changes).
