There is no “force” to share entire library – you can share groups. Currently Endnote can only be used to share one library to the cloud storage. Your library can be shared with up to 14 other people with Endnote X7 (including PDFs).
see http://community.thomsonreuters.com/t5/EndNote-General/Questions-about-sharing/m-p/126999#M23788 and
Here is the share description: http://endnote.com/product-details/library-sharing
You can also share all or parts of your library online with others (but not the attachments), even if they don’t have Endnote Desktop version.
Here is a you-tube video about sharing groups. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSExPuxdbcM

Hello,
It would be helpful if the library sharing functionality were expanded so that users were able to share more than one library, or to share different parts of their library (different groups) with different users. Allowing only one library to be shared by each user, and forcing the entire library to be shared, is very limiting for people working on multiple projects (which I assume applies to most users). I know that you are able to share individual groups using the online version. It would be very helpful if that could somehow be incorporated into the library sharing feature of the desktop version, or if multiple libraries could be shared by each user.
Thank you!
