Share from the app

From the Drime app, you can share a file or folder with people, get a link to it, or ask others to upload files to one of your folders.

#Share with people

1. In the file or folder's ⋮ menu, tap Share.

   Share the file opens.

2. Under Add people, enter an email address, or pick one of your recent contacts.

3. Choose what they can do: Can view (the default), Can download or Can edit.

4. Tap Share.

The full sharing screen, under Who has access, lists the people who have access. You can change a person's level or remove them there.

#Get a link

• Get link, in the ⋮ menu, creates the link and copies it at once.

• In Share the file, Copy link does the same.

When you share from a file preview, Share sends the link through your phone's share menu, for example to a messaging app. The file itself is never sent as an attachment: people open it through the link.

#Protect a link

In Share the file, tap ⋮, then Link settings:

• Allow edition: lets people with the link edit a whiteboard or a page;

• Allow downloads: let visitors download the file, or only view it;

• Require password: visitors type a password before they open the link;

• an expiration date, up to 365 days (7 days by default);

• the Send & Track switch, to track who opens the link;

• an option to delete the link.

The password and the expiration date need a paid plan. On the free plan, the app shows Upgrade to manage advanced settings with Drime Essentials.

#Ask for files with a file request

1. In a folder's ⋮ menu, tap Request files.

2. Set the request: a title (the folder's name by default), a description if you want, a deadline (just before midnight by default), whether files sent after the deadline are accepted (not by default), a link expiration and a password.

3. Share the link, or invite people by email.

The files people send go into that folder. To see your requests, go to More > File Requests: you can search them, copy their link, invite people, edit or delete a request.
