Edit or deactivate a share

If you no longer want your friends or family to have access to your content, you can simply deactivate the share link. Even after you have shared a link, you can adjust the share configuration at any time.

  1. In your Cloud, open the folder All shared data via the menu on the left-hand side.
  2. If you’re in the thumbnail gallery view, change it to list view at the top right.
  3. Move your mouse over the item (a file, a folder, a collection or a photo/video) for which you would like to edit or deactivate the share.
    To the right, you will see four new icons.
  4. Click on the respective icon for the following actions:
