Sharing a Folder

If you want to give access to a folder to your friends or family, you have to share it. In the Share configuration settings, it is possible to grant other users extended rights to edit and delete in the shared folder. The password protection, the share duration and the user permissions can be adjusted anytime.

If you share a folder, the recipients of the share link can access the folder in your Cloud and download the files.

  1. Select the folder you want to share.
