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.
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.
#Get a link in one click
Right-click the file or folder and choose Get link.
Drime creates the link, copies it and shows it in Copy link to.
Link copied to clipboard confirms the copy.
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
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.
#What you can change in Link settings
Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
Track file (under Send & Track) | Turns the link into a tracked link, so you can see who opens it. See Track a file you share. |
Link expiration and Password protect | Make the link stop working on a date, or ask visitors for a password. See Protect a link with a password or an expiration date. |
Allow download | On by default. Turn it off and visitors can only preview the content. |
Advanced options | Click it to show the custom link address, the branding of the link page and the visitor protection options. See Customise a share link. |
Click Save to apply your changes.
