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.
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
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.
#Turn off a share 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
What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
Unshare or Delete sharing links is not in the menu | You are not the owner of the item. Ask the owner. |
The person still has the file | Removing access does not reach copies they downloaded before. |
The link still opens | Each item has its own link: check that you deleted the link of the item you sent. |
