Abstract
A cloud storage server and a management method thereof are provided. The cloud storage server runs a management program for managing and sharing a plurality of resources. When a user wants to share a resource stored in the cloud storage server to a target address, the cloud storage server creates a share link of the shared resource and delivers the share link to a target address. After the user receives the share link from the target address, the user can set his own password for accessing the cloud storage server via the share link and download the shared resource.
Claims14
A cloud storage server, comprising:
- a storage medium, being configured to store a management program and a plurality of resources;
- a network interface connected to a network;
- and
- a processor, being configured to run the management program to execute at least the following steps:
- (a) receiving a first share request for sharing a first selected resource of the resources to a first target address via the network interface;
- (b) creating a first share link of the first selected resource with an initial state for the first target address;
- (c) delivering the first share link to the first target address via the network interface;
- (d) receiving an activation request from a user device corresponding to the first target address via the network interface, wherein the activation request includes an identification code and a user password corresponding to the first share link and the activation request is generated by the user device when accessing the cloud storage server via the first share link;
- (e) determining whether the identification code matches the first target address;
- and
- (f) transiting the first share link from the initial state to an activated state if the identification code matches the first target address.
A management method for use in a cloud storage server, the cloud storage server comprising a storage medium, a network interface and a processor, the storage medium storing a management program for the management method and a plurality of resources, the network interface being connected to a network, the processor being electrically connected to the network interface and the storage medium and running the management program to execute the management method, the management method comprising the steps of:
- (a) receiving a first share request for sharing a first selected resource of the resources to a first target address via the network interface;
- (b) creating a first share link of the first selected resource with an initial state for the first target address;
- (c) delivering the first share link to the first target address via the network interface;
- (d) receiving an activation request from a user device corresponding to the first target address via the network interface, wherein the activation request includes an identification code and a user password corresponding to the first share link and the activation request is generated by the user device when accessing the cloud storage server via the first share link;
- (e) determining whether the identification code matches the first target address;
- and
- (f) transiting the first share link from the initial state to an activated state if the identification code matches the first target address.
