How do I share a file?

These steps are for the web app.

Open the sharing settings

1. In the File manager, open the file's menu and choose Share.
2. The Access & public links window opens. Workspace access and public links are separate settings.

Workspace access

Under Workspace access, choose who can find and open the file:

• Only me: just you. Not even team admins can read it.
• Specific people: the people you add by email. For each one, choose Can read or Can edit.
• Everyone in team: every active member of the team.

Public links

Under Public links:

1. Choose a Link type. A Live link follows future versions of the file. A Snapshot link freezes the version you have now.
2. Choose Who can open it: Public, Workspace (team workspaces only) or Specific people.
3. Choose an expiry if you want the link to stop working on a date.
4. Create the link. Existing links are listed below, where you can copy, change or revoke them.

Anyone allowed by a link can read the file until you revoke the link.

Who can share a team file

In a team workspace, members can share only the files they created. Team admins and the owner can manage the sharing of any file.
