Sharing Files Publicly in Sync

You can share a file so that anyone can access the file even if they don't have a FileCloud account.

• If you want more security but still want a large number of people to access the file, you can enable password protection.
• For additional security, and if you only want a small number of people to access the file, you can choose to share the file privately. 
  

When you share a file:

• A Quick Share window opens to provide the link.
• By default the file can be accessed by external users.
• You can click Advanced to set sharing restrictions.
• You can edit and send an email inviting new or existing users to access the file.

Create a quick public share:

1. In your system tray, right-click the Sync icon and choose Open.
2. In the mini-dashboard, click Open.
   Your Sync folder in file explorer opens.
   
   
   Navigate to the file or folder you want to share, then right-click on it and choose Share FileCloud Link.
   
   
   
   The Quick Share dialog box opens. Unless you click the Advanced button and change the settings, the file is shared publicly.
   
   
   
   
3. Click the Copy Link button, and then paste the link in an email or text message and send it to users to give them access to the file.
