Email a file share link

The File Sync & Share administrator may disable some of the options described below.

To share a link in a system-generated email

  1. Navigate to and select the file you want to share.

  2. Select Email Link from the right sidebar.

  3. In the Send download link field, enter the email addresses of the individuals and/or share groups you want to email the shared file link to.

    The system will suggest individuals and share groups as you type.
    The icon indicates an individual user.
    The icon indicates a share group.
  4. In the Message field, enter some body text for the notification email.

    We recommend using the Message field to provide information about the type of share, the expiry date, and if the link is a single use download link, as this information is not included in the notification email.
  5. In the Link Access Restrictions section, select the desired option:

  6. Change the default value for Link expires in X days.

    The administrator may not require this value.
  7. Select Expires immediately after first use to have the link become permanently unavailable after the first download.

    Each recipient can view the file unlimited times until they download the file. If they download the file, their link expires.
    The same applies for share group members, but the first member to download the file causes the link to expire for all share group members.
    The administrator can set this option to be obligatory.
  8. Select the Invitation Language.

  9. Click Send.
