What to do if you can’t access Depot’s Public Group
How can I tell if I’m a member of the Public Group or not?
First, make sure you’re signed into Depot. Once you’re in, click the Home link to make sure you’re at your Depot dashboard. In the right sidebar, locate the section labeled Your Groups. If you don’t see Public Group listed there, you’re not a member of the group. Let’s fix that now.
While still on your Depot dashboard, click the Browse the Public Folder button.
This isn’t the only way to get to the Public Folder, but for our purposes here it’s the fastest.
Locate the Join task.
You should now be looking at the Public Group’s page, with a list of resources that have been shared with the group along the left and tasks, filters, and meta information along the right. In the right sidebar, under Tasks, click the Join link.
Join the group.
Depot will tell you that the Public Group is a private group. Not only is this an oxymoron, it’s a bug (I’ll fix it shortly). Ignore the message, and don’t worry about a membership key. Just click the Join Group button.
You’re in!
Depot should now tell you that you’ve joined the group and are ready to go. You can now browse the list of examples shared there, as well as download them.
