Share Links in the iOS App

This article describes how to share files and folders via links in the Egnyte iOS Mobile App. 

Admin and Power Users can create links to files or folders to quickly share with someone inside or outside of their organization. 

To share a link to a single file or folder via the Egnyte iOS App, click on the three dot menu next to the file or folder that needs to be shared and select Share.

To share a link to multiple files or folders, click on the three dot menu in the upper right corner of the screen, choose Select, tap the selection button next to the files or folders that need to be shared and click the Share button.
   

Next, set up the link sharing options:

• Who can access the link (Anyone, Anyone with password, Existing user(s), People you choose)
  
• Link settings (Allow downloads, Notify when the link is accessed, Add folder/file name to link)
  
• Link expiration (On a date, After number of clicks, Never)
     
• Choose how to share the link (Email link, Get link)
  
  
  • If the Email link option is selected, the system will auto-suggest email addresses based on previous usage, with a prioritization algorithm to help pick the most relevant users.
    
  • Additionally, clear color indicators differentiate internal (blue) from external (gray) recipients.
    
  • If the Get link option is selected, the link is copied to the clipboard and can be pasted into e.g. a text message.
