Sharing files from the Cloud: General information

Share your files and folders within your GMX Cloud so your friends, family and acquaintances can view or download these files.

When you share files or folders from your GMX Cloud, a unique link is generated that you can send to others. By opening the link, they can view and download the content you have shared.

Share configuration

You can configure the following sharing settings:
  • Share duration: You can limit the time frame during which the link remains valid.
  • Password protection: You can determine that people who open the link must enter a password before they can access the shared content.
  • Permissions (only for sharing a single folder): You can allow people to delete files in the shared folder or add new files. Otherwise, they can only view and download the files.

Overview: "All shared data"

It is easy to gain an overview of your shared files and folders. If you open the folder All shared data (a) in the list view (b) , you can view all shares with the share date, expiration date and share status (c).

Overview of shared folders

There are three different icons for share statuses:
  • Two people stand for an active share.
  • The person with the clock stands for an expired share.
  • The person with the lock stands for a shared folder with password protection.

If you have shared multiple files and folders, you will find them under Collections. Files, folders and photos or videos you have shared individually can be found below.

You can edit or delete your shares at any time.
