Note: The Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (Indiana CTSI) retired its implementation of the Alfresco Share document collaboration service on August 31, 2015. Currently, site members have read-only access to their documents; the ability to upload new ones is disabled. For alternatives available to researchers at Indiana University, the University of Notre Dame, and Purdue University who want to store and share their documents using another service, see ARCHIVED: After the retirement of Alfresco Share, what other service should I use to store and share my research documentation? If you have questions about the Alfresco Share retirement, or need help choosing a replacement service, contact Indiana CTSI Support.

To use Indiana University Alfresco Share to share documents with collaborators, you and your collaborators must have Alfresco Share accounts; see ARCHIVED: How do I request IU Alfresco Share accounts for myself and my collaborators?

Once you've created your IU Alfresco Share account:

Create a collaboration site; see ARCHIVED: In IU Alfresco Share, how do I create a collaboration site?
Invite collaborators to the site; see ARCHIVED: In IU Alfresco Share, how do I invite collaborators to a site?
Upload a document to your collaboration site's Document Library, and point site collaborators to it; see ARCHIVED: In IU Alfresco Share, how do I upload, preview, edit, share, and download documents?
