💡 FAQ

Why shouldn't I allow all files to be shares?

If you have sensitive materials on your Workspace, it's important to protect them. While these materials may be visible to your users, you want to prevent them from being shared accidentally with customers. Additionally, files that you don't allow to be shared cannot be downloaded by your users.

Are files and folders shareable by default?

By default all files are shareable.

However, folders are not shareable: This prevents unintentional sharing of multiple files. Also, if any content is added or removed from the folder, the shared folder will automatically adjust without the Share creator's knowledge.

An exception to this rule is folders created in My Files: These are shareable by default because the Share creator has complete control over the folder and its contents.
