Public Link Shares

You have the ability to create multiple public links per file or folder. This offers a lot of flexibility for creating different kinds of share links for a single file or folder, such as different passwords, expiry dates, and permissions.

To create a public link share, first view the Sharing Panel of the file or folder that you want to create a public link share for, and under “Public Links” click “Create public link”.

Create a public link - step one.

Then, as with other shares, provide the name in the “Link Name” field, and fill out the options that suit what you want the link to support. You can find details of what each option does below.

Create a public link - step two.

Finally, click “Save” to complete creation of the share. Now that the share is created, you can:

  • Copy the link to the share and give it out
  • Update the share’s settings
  • Share the link via social media and email
  • Delete the public link
