- Sharing permissions explainedWhat people can do with Can view, Can Download and Can edit access, how access applies to folders, and whose storage their uploads use.
- Create and copy a share linkCreate a link anyone can open to view and download a file or folder, copy it in one click, share several items at once or turn the link into a QR code.
- Protect a link with a password or an expiration dateAsk for a password before anyone opens your share link, or make the link stop working at a set date and time. Availability depends on your plan.
- Customise a share link: downloads, custom address and brandingIn Link settings, turn downloads off so visitors can only preview, choose your own link address, and add a title, cover and logo to the link page.
