Share links

Whether you need to deliver a file or send a quick preview, Cube share links are a simple and safe way to share content with anyone. No need to sign in!

When working with external collaborators and clients, you will often need to send out many files. But you also want to make sure that you keep your files secure. In Cube, you can create a share link to a file or folder and send it out to anyone — with or without a Cube account. You can set an auto-expiration date so that the share link stops working by a certain date. Or add a password for extra security. You can also choose to let your viewers download the files you’ve shared with them.

Create a share link to a file or folder

1. Select the file or folder you'd like to share.
2. Click Share in the command menu in the top section of the page, followed by Share Link.
3. Click New Link.
4. Fill in the email addresses of the people who should receive the link.
5. Add a message, if you'd like.
6. Choose if you want link recipients to download the files, and what kind of files they may download.
7. Choose if you want to auto-expire the link on a certain date.
8. When everything's alright, click Send Link.

The people you’ve chosen will now get a personal share link.
