Sharing Access to Documents
Sharing allows you to grant other users permission to view or edit documents and folders. It is the primary tool for collaborating on documents.
Granting Access
To share a document or folder with another user:
- Select the desired item in your documents.
- Open the context menu with a right-click.
- Select the "Share" option.
- In the dialog that opens, enter the recipient's email.
- Choose the access level:
- View — the recipient will only be able to view and download the document.
- Edit — the recipient will be able to modify the document's content.
- Click the button to send the invitation.
After saving, the recipient will automatically receive an email notification, and the document will appear in their "Shared with me" section.
Sharing via a Link
An alternative method is to create a short link to the document, which you can share through any convenient channel.
Creating a link
- Open the "Share" dialog for the desired document or folder.
- Enable the "Enable link sharing" toggle.
- Select the access level for anyone who uses the link.
- Copy the generated short link.
- Send the link to recipients via messenger, email, or another method.
Any user who opens the link will gain access to the document according to the set permission level.
Checking Status
Documents that are shared with other users are marked with a special icon in the file manager. This makes it easy to distinguish shared documents from completely private ones.
To see the list of users who have access to a document, open the "Share" dialog again.
Managing Access Permissions
The document owner can at any time:
- Change the access level for a specific user.
- Revoke access completely.
- Disable link sharing.
All changes are applied instantly.
Collaborating on Folders
When you share a folder, all nested documents and subfolders automatically become accessible to the recipient with the same permissions. This is useful for organizing collaborative work on a project when you need to grant access to the entire file structure at once.
