Sharing a file or a folder

If you want to share items in your Cloud with friends or family, you can create a share for these items.

When you share a file or folder, recipients of the sharing link can access the shared content in Cloud and download it. You can protect the share with a password and limit it to a specific period of time.

If you share a folder, you can also give other users extended rights if you want them to be able to add and delete files in the shared folder. Otherwise, recipients of the sharing link can only view and download the contents of the folder.

  1. Select the file or folder you want to share by tapping the file or folder name and not releasing it until a checkmark appears on the left.
  2. Tap the share icon at the bottom right.

    A new window appears.
  3. To configure sharing settings, tap Manage access. You have the following options:
    • Permissions (for folders only): Choose whether other people are allowed to make changes to the folder.
      • Viewer: View and download only
      • Editor: Add, rename, and remove files
    • Password protection: You can protect the share with a password. If you select Editor under Permissions, a password is mandatory.
    • Expiration: Specify how long the sharing link should remain valid.
    When you are finished with the settings, tap the back icon at the top left. You can adjust the sharing settings at any time afterward.
  4. Choose how you want to share the sharing link.
    • Send by email: Tap the envelope icon. The sharing link is inserted into a new email.
    • Copy to the clipboard: Tap the paperclip icon.
    • Share via another app: Tap the share icon and select the desired app.

Tip:

If you want to share a folder but do not want other people to be allowed to remove files, tap the + icon at the bottom right in your Cloud and then tap Create a new Moment. Enter a folder name and tap Create your Moment → Invite your friends. In the sharing settings (Manage access), the appropriate Contributor option is already selected under Permissions.
