How to share files and folders from Data Management?

To share a folder:

Click on the "…" icon and select "Copy share link."

Important: Anyone with this link can access all files and subfolders within the folder, including any files added after the link is shared. Unlike file share links, folder share links do not expire.

To share a single file:

Click on the "…" icon and select "Copy share link." The link can then be shared, and when opened in a browser, it will directly download the file.

Note: File share links are valid for only 7 days. To generate a new link, click “Copy share link” for the file again.
