About the Inbox root directory
The Inbox root directory, which was called “Inbox Management Directory” in previous versions
of ShareScan, contains scan inboxes and a file named “userdirs.txt”. When users at a device use
the connector for the first time, their names and the paths to their scan inboxes or network home
directories are added to the userdirs.txt file.
The Inbox Agent uses the userdirs.txt file to provide eCopy Desktop with the path information
that eCopy Desktop needs to connect to scan inboxes or network home directories (see
page 245).
Before you can use the Scan to eCopy Desktop Connector, you must configure the Inbox root
directory (see page 237).
The connector automatically assigns specific file and folder permissions to ensure inbox security
(see Table 50 or see Table 51) depending on your network environment.
