'My Home' in Share

[abruzzi]

I love the repo browser in share.  It brings share one step closer to being usable for us (we need to use one or the other, our users aren't savvy enough to use both.) The problem is getting them to their home folders. (again our users are bottom rung on the tech scale.)  Has anyone tried to implement something like explorer's "My Home" for the repo browser?

I'm thinking I would want two things.  First would be a second tree immediately under the "Repository" tree labeled "My Home" with root set to /Company Home/User Homes/username.

Second would be a top bar menu item between people and repository that would bring up the same repository page, but target the tree containing the /Company Home/User Homes/username tree instead.

Anyone done any work on this, or have any thoughts?

That, plus workflows in 3.4 and we should be able to migrate to share.

This topic is a little old, but I wanted to achieve something similar.  My goal was to allow users faster/easier access to their home directory or user document library through Share.  (I prefer to not have users user Explorer because it would only confuse the situation, unless someone can tell me why I should…)

I figured out what path was acceptable to get me to the desired user home directory found in Repository>User Home.  I ended up adding it to the share-config.xml file with this line below in the header section:

<item type="link" id="my-content" label="My Home">/repository#filter=path|/User Homes/{userid}</item>‍

There are other tweaks I want to do like to give it a different icon other than the My Content icon, etc. but at least the user can now get it their own files with just one click. 

Next is to tweak things so that the My Content is renamed something like My Sites Content or My Site Files so that there's a clear distinction between what the links are.
