Your Shop Local account contains a virtual library that enables your business to share files including:
- Price lists
- Catalogs
- Brochures
- Presentations
- Training documents
- Images
- Logos
- UPC Codes
- Agreements
- and more
The My File Sharing Library feature is similar to other file-sharing services like Dropbox.
My File Sharing Library's advantages:
- Your Library is integrated into your Shop Local account. Files and products sit side by side.
- Your My File Sharing Library documents are more easily accessible to your business friends. A business often logs in to its Shop Local account daily, and as such will easily see your documents. In contrast, third-party file-sharing services are often not used daily.
To share a file via your Library:
- Login to your Shop Local account.
- Click the green "Add" button in the navigation bar at top of your home page, then select "File" from the drop-down menu. This will bring you to your My File Sharing Library home page.
- Click the green +Add File button.
- On the Add Entry to library page, please add your file and its details:
- Title of the entry.
- Description of the entry.
- Choose the file type, Price List, Catalog, etc.
- Add Tags to the entry if desired.
- Choose the businesses with whom you'd like to share the file. By default, your library is set up to share with all business categories. Deselect those categories you do not wish to share a file with.
- For example, you can check the boxes "Retailers" and "Sales Reps" to share it with all of your active retailers and reps. Your files will only be visible to your selections. If you are a brand or distributor, you may choose the geographic market that the file applies to. For example, the file may be a price list that is only meant for U.S.-based retailers.
- Please click "File Input" to browse and select the file you wish to add.
After you have reviewed the data entered, click on the "Save” button to load your document to your My File Sharing Library.
