What happens to a share when you move, rename or delete the item

What happens to access and share links when a shared item is renamed, moved, put in the Trash, restored or deleted, and when someone leaves a share.

Updated October 22, 2026Web

You...	What happens to the share
Rename or move the item	Everyone keeps their access, and the share link keeps working: it follows the item.
Move a file out of a shared folder	The file stays shared with the people it was shared with directly, but the folder's link no longer reaches it.
Move it to another workspace	People you shared it with directly keep their access, and the share link keeps working. Members of the old workspace lose the access they had through it; members of the new one get access according to their role. See Move files between workspaces.
Put the item in the Trash	Its link shows Page not found until you restore it.
Restore it from the Trash	The same access and the same link come back. An item is restored only if its folder still exists.
Delete it permanently, or leave it 30 days in the Trash	Access and the link are removed for good.
Delete your Drime account	Everything you own is deleted for good, and your links stop working.

#Can the people I share with delete my files?

No. Sharing gives view, edit or download rights, never the right to delete your files. In a workspace, members whose role allows deleting can move colleagues' files to the workspace Trash.

#Leave a share

If something is shared with you, you can remove it from your Shared page: Leave folder for a folder, Remove from shared for several items. Left folder confirms it. This only removes your own access: the owner's files are not touched. See Find files shared with you and leave a share.
