It would appear that the only way I can share a Bookmark Folder with another person is by giving that other person Admin Access to the folder in question. Is this really the way it’s supposed to work ?

I submitted a Bug Report (EBR-186324) on this some time ago, but it hasn’t appeared in my Support stuff so I assume it’s got lost in the deluge - hence asking again here.

I just created a folder, set V/U to Public and M/A to my corp and linked it in a chat and people could subscribe to it.

Thanks - that was the bit I’d missed, I thought it would automatically appear on each user’s Shared Folder list.
