Link sharing scope

Public Anyone with the link can access (Password optional)
Company members Anyone registered as a company member
Specific people (OTP) Only those who receive the OTP email

Regardless of the access permission settings, you may not be able to access a link for the following reasons:

  • If the person who shared the link has deleted the link
  • If the link was deleted after the expiration date
  • If you are not permitted to access the link as the access permission for the link has been changed
  • If you are excluded from the list of people who can access in the Specific People (OTP) link
  • If you are accessing from a browser other than the first verified browser in the Specific People (OTP) link

Valid period

You can select the valid period from no limit, 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, or 180 days.

Depending on the administrator's settings, you may not be able to set a valid period.

Permission to edit/read

By default, all links are editable when they are first created. The people in which the link was shared can edit the files or upload new files in a folder with links. 

You can also change to the reading permission to restrict the people you share the link with from editing or deleting data in the folder.

Passwords

When selecting 'Public' for the sharing scope, you can limit access to only those who know the password.

Passwords can be 4-16 characters long and can include numbers, letters, and special characters.
