Share

What is SharedLink?
It is a link generated when a user shares the files or folders in AnyShare with other users.
With SharedLink, a user can both share with other users and anyone.
Links for sharing with users, derived from users’ sharing actions are the best-of-breed coordinating pathways for users. Permissions of shared files are in line with those of users and under no access control. 
Links for sharing with anyone, generated from sharing actions between AnyShare users and anyone, are powerful tools for coordinating work and sharing content with external partners. Those who get such links could be imposed on restrictions like access controls, content validity period, access password, and max opens.

Work with SharedLink

• Quick Sharing

If users need to share a file with colleagues and are sure that they have the permission, they can copy and sent the SharedLink to colleagues for convenience to search and locate it.
 

• Share and Collaborate across Departments

Many tasks must be done jointly. If users need to share and collaborate across departments, they can enjoy the function of Contacts served by AnyShare to create groups where they can add certain colleagues and set permission. AnyShare offers 7 kinds of granular permission including Display/Read/Modify/Create/Delete/Deny/Owner. Users need to customize permission settings for each group in accordance with workflow and confidentiality rules and regulations. For example, you want to share a product document with members of the product group and sales group. To update products in time, you can set the permission as “Display/Read/Modify/Create” for the product group. The permission for the sales group can be set as “Display/Read” so that the document can be prevented from being tempered. To further curtail sales colleagues’ access ways so that content security can be ensured more effectively, you can share relevant offerings in the form of sharing with anyone by setting up validity period, password, or max opens.
 

• Share with anyone

If users want to share content with not only users but also outsiders including but not limited to vendors, partners, and customers, they should use the function called “share with anyone”. This function helps prevent data loss and strengthen data security. Users need to set access rights, validity period, access password, and max visits first and then share the content with anyone, especially outsiders. If users want to share content with people from different sectors or industries, they can generate multiple links, each with unique settings in order to differentiate them.
