Create and copy a share link

Create 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.

Updated Web

A share link lets anyone who has it open a file or folder, with no Drime account needed. By default, people with the link can view and download the content, but not change it.

You can create a link for your own items, and for items shared with you with Can edit.

Each item has one link. If you choose Get link again later, you get the same link, and you can share it as many times as you like.

#Copy the link from the Share dialog

  1. Right-click the file or folder and choose Share.

Under the link, Anyone with this link can view reminds you what visitors can do. Click Manage, or the gear icon at the top of the Share dialog once the item has a link, to open Link settings, where you can add a password, an expiration date and other options: see Protect a link with a password or an expiration date.

Setting

What it does

Track file (under Send & Track)

Allow download

On by default. Turn it off and visitors can only preview the content.

Advanced options
