Share files via the cloud

You can share your files in two ways:

• Via a public link: you create a link to your file, which you can share with your contacts. Everyone who clicks on this link is free to view and download the shared file.
• Via a shared folder: you create a separate folder in your Cloud, which you can share with your contacts. Your contacts can view and download the files in this folder, but can also add files (depending on the settings you have chosen).
