Network folders are provided to share files when the LionShare application is not being used.  Network folders can be used to share resources with others persistently, so files can be made available when the users are not connected to the LionShare network. LionShare allows files to be shared even when the user is not running LionShare application by moving these resources to the Network folder. Files shared in the Network folders retain all permissions and descriptive information that the owner has placed on the shared files.
