Sharing Files Publicly in Sync

By default, file shares are private, and you can make them available to specific people. You can share a file so that anyone can access the file even if they don't have a FileCloud account. 

When you share a file:

  • A Share link window opens to provide the link. By default the share is private.

  • Under Share options you can change the share to Allow anyone with link.

  • You can send the link in an email inviting users to access the share.

Create a public share:

In your system tray, right-click the Sync icon and choose Open.

  1. At the bottom of the mini-dashboard, click the folder icon.
    Your Sync folder in file explorer opens.

    The Share link dialog box opens. By default the share is private. 

  3. Under Sharing permissions, click Allow anyone with link, Allow anyone with link and password, or, if it's available, Allow anyone with Secure Web Viewer Link and a password.

  4. Change any of the other options under Share options. See Sync: Share options for files for information about these settings.

  5. To copy the link, click the Copy Link icon at the top of the screen.
