You can share a single file, multiple files, a single Collection, or multiple Collections externally with a share link. There are many combinations of settings, from watermarking images to requiring an email address to download.
Sharing a single file
To share a single file, hover over the file and click the Access & Share icon.
Sharing multiple files
To share multiple files, you can drag to select or individually select the files you wish to share. Click the Access & Share icon from the action bar at the bottom of the page.
Sharing a single Collection
To share an entire Collection of files, hover over the Collection thumbnail and click the share icon. You can also drag to select or manually select a few Collections and a few files at once!
Sharing multiple Collections
To share multiple Collections, you can drag to select or individually select the Collections you wish to share and click the Access & Share icon from the action bar at the bottom of the page.
The Access & Share modal
From the Access & Share modal, click Set a link to create a share link.
With a share link created, you can set your general share link settings.
From the main share page, you can:
Customize the URL by clicking into the link field and inputting your text.
Add a comment to be displayed at the top of your share link page.
Create a static or updatable share link. (When sharing Collections only)
A static share link is a snapshot of the Collection or files you have selected and will only give those with this static link, access to those specific files and/or Collections.
An updatable share link allows you to include all new files or Collections added to the shared Collection in the future.
To Customize the URL, click on the input field, remove the auto-generated text, and add your own custom text.
Click the copy icon in the share link field to copy your share link, then click Done to close the modal.
Advanced share link settings
Advanced share link settings are available for all Pro and Premium accounts
To access advanced share link features, Set a link and then click the Link settings cog wheel that appears.
From the link settings page, you can enable the following features:
View: Available options match your workspace views - grid, masonry, and tile, with an additional slider view. Your selection will be the initial view on the share link, but recipients can change their personal view.
Expiration date: Setting an expiration date will deactivate the share link and make all shared files, inaccessible on that date.
Allow downloads: With this toggled on, all files will be downloadable. To create a view-only share link, toggle allow downloads off.
Watermark images: If a watermark has been added to your workspace, you can display that watermark on all images in this share link.
Require workspace login: If you need to keep this share link private to only those who have a log in to your workspace, you can require them to be logged in to view the share. Anyone without a login will not be able to view the files.
Require password: Set a customized password that must be entered to access the files in the share link.
Allow comments: Allow anyone to leave comments on files from your share link. Logged-in users will be recognized by their name, while external users will be required to fill in a name field to comment.
Allow favorites: Allow anyone to favorite files from your share link. Logged-in users will be recognized, while external users will be recorded as anonymous users.
Enable statuses: If you have added file statuses to your workspace, you can allow share link recipients to add or change those statuses from the share link.
Require email to download: To track downloads by external users, they must add an email address before downloading files. All emails are then available under the details section of your shares page and are exportable to csv.
File sizes: If you have multiple file sizes created in your workspace, you can restrict what sizes are available on this share link.
Color: Customize the color of your share link buttons and hovers.
Logo: Add a custom logo for your share link
Once you create a share link, you can change or edit it at any time. Find out more about editing share links here.
If you repeatedly create the same advanced settings, consider enabling Share Templates in your workspace to allow your users to create private and workspace-wide reusable templates.
