Share folder link

Share a folder with anyone by sending them a link – no login required.

Open the folder you want to share and click Share in the toolbar.

Under Access, choose View only, View & Download, or Request files. Under Expiration, choose when the link should expire, or select Never expires.

For View only and View & Download links, you can also enable:

  • Allow commenting – let recipients comment on files.
  • Allow label changes – let recipients change file labels.

These options are available when your plan supports them and the corresponding features are enabled under Admin > General. Label changes also require a Labelset assigned to the folder.

For Request files links, you can enable:

  • Notify me on new uploads – receive an email notification when someone uploads files through the link.

Share the link

You have two ways to share the link:

  • Copy link – copy and paste the link into an email, message, or website.
  • Send by email – click to expand this section. Enter recipients’ email addresses, pressing Enter after each address. Add an optional message, then click Send email.

To preview the shared page, click the Open in new window icon beside the link.
