Change or remove access and stop sharing

Change what a person can do with a shared file or folder, remove their access, turn off a share link, or stop sharing an item with everyone.

Updated Web

You can change or remove access for each person, turn off a share link, or stop sharing an item altogether.

#Find everything you share

In the sidebar, click Shared, then Shared by me: it lists your items shared with people or with an active share link.

#Change someone's access

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

  2. In Who has access, open the menu next to the person.

  3. Choose Can view, Can Download or Can edit.

    Who has access with the menu of one person open, showing the access levels and Remove

The new level applies to the item and everything inside it.

#Remove someone

In the same menu, choose Remove. Member removed confirms it.

For someone you shared with by email who has no Drime account, removing them revokes their personal link.

Open Share, click Copy link, then Delete link. Delete link is also at the bottom of Link settings. Anyone who opens the link afterwards cannot access the item.

To turn off the links of several items at once, select them, right-click and choose Delete sharing links.

#Stop sharing with everyone

Right-click the item and choose Unshare. Everyone you shared it with loses access. This option is offered to the owner of the item.

Unshare and Delete sharing links are offered to the owner of the items only. The ownership of an item cannot be transferred to someone else.

#If it doesn't work
