You can share a folder with everyone without restrictions.
That means when you share the folder and its contents, you can leave the default settings as:
SHARE OPTIONS
- Expires = Never Expires
- Restrict Downloads = No Restrictions. This allows any user to download a file an unlimited number of times.
- Email File Change Notifications = YES. This sends an email notification when a file is opened or downloaded for a public share.
- Enable Password Protection = NO. This allows a user to access a file without first providing a password.
However, in the Share Permissions panel, you must make the following changes:
For public sharing, select Allow Everyone. You will be required to select one of the following options:
