You can share a file with a user who does not have a FileCloud account yet but wants one.

This is called a Private share because: 

• You are only allowing users with a FileCloud account to access your file.

When you invite a new user to share your files, the following process occurs:

1. You share a file and invite a new user to create a FileCloud account.
2. You need to know their email address, add them as a Guest, and then send them an email with the link to create an account.
3. The user you have invited uses the link to create their own FileCloud account.
4. After the new user signs in, they have a Full Access FileCloud account.
5. The new user can access the file. 

An account with Full Access has its own private cloud storage space in the "My Files" area.

These users can:

• store files in their own private cloud storage space
• view/download files stored in their storage space
• view/download files shared with them by other user accounts

That means when you privately share a file, you can leave the default settings in:

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, you must make changes in:

SHARE PERMISSIONS

• Allow Selected Users/Groups = selected. This allows you to specify who you want to invite to create a FileCloud account so that they can access the file.
