Quick start: Share a folder from your Files app repo

Edit online

You can share folders in your Files app. When you share folders, you give your recipients direct access to your source material. You also give each recipient a specific permission to access the folder contents.

Note: You can share only folders; you cannot share a file. To share a file, place it in a folder, then share the folder.

Make sure that you are in the Files app. If necessary, use the app switcher .

  1. Right-click the folder row and select Share.
  2. Enter the name or email address of one or more collaborators.
  3. Set the access permission that you want these collaborators to have for this folder.
  4. Click Add.
