What is Shared Pictures?

Shared Documents is a picture library on MyZone where you can store pictures that are displayed on your public home page. Use this library to share your pictures with colleagues.

Your public home page is located under "My Profile" and is accessible only to users with Zone accounts: students, faculty, and staff. No one on the public internet can access these documents. Other users can locate your profile by using the Search function on the general Zone portal.
