CONTENTS

This function is only available for the Advanced plan.

The administrator can set whether to allow the link sharing function, set the link valid period, or restrict access rights of the link in Admin.

Link settings

Permission to access

You can select one of the following access permissions to ensure security when sharing a link. 

Depending on the administrator’s setting, some access permissions may not be available.

  • Everyone who know the link can access
  • Only company employees can access
  • Only those who verified with password can access
  • Only those who verified with OTP can access

Regardless of the access permission settings, you may not be able to access a link for the following reasons:

  • If the person who shared the link has deleted the link
  • If the link was deleted after the expiration date
  • If you are not permitted to access the link as the access permission for the link has been changed
  • (Secure links) If you are excluded from the shared members
  • (Secure links) If you are accessing from a browser other than the first verified browser

Valid period

You can select the valid period from no limit, 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, or 180 days.

Depending on the administrator's settings, you may not be able to set a valid period.

Permission to edit

By default, all links are editable when they are first created. The people in which the link was shared can edit the files or upload new files in a folder with links. 

You can also change the link permission to read only to restrict the people you share the link with from editing or deleting data in the folder.
