Sharing Files and Folders

INFINCE Workplace offers secure file share with several access controls and different means of sharing. The different ways of sharing and setting of controls are explained below.

Sharing File or Folder with a colleague or Team or Organizational Unit (Sharing File within your INFINCE)

The most common scenario would be when you wish to work collaboratively on files with your colleagues. To share a file with someone in your organization, click the share icon on the right side of the desired file/folder. A panel will be displayed on the right side. Enter the name(s) of the person(s) with whom you want to share the document. You can also share files/folders with another Team or Organizational Unit (E.g., Department). The file will become available to everyone in that Team/Organizational Unit.

Optionally, you can give the recipient the “Edit” access and set an expiration date for the share. You can also add a note to the recipient, which will be shared over email. Use the “Unshare” option to stop sharing a file you shared earlier.

The file share recipient(s) will automatically receive an email with the shared file/folder link. The shared files will be accessible via their InfinCE login.

Sharing File/Folder via Link, Share a File/Folder with an external user (someone outside your INFINCE)

INFINCE Workplace allows you to share your files to collaborators within and outside your organization via links. To share the link of the file, click on the share button available on the right side of the files or folders. This will open a side menu. Click on “+” icon on the right to create a new Share link.

Then click on the the more icon (3 dots) on the right side to set the share parameters – Allow editing, Prevent Download, Set a password and set an expiration date for the share. You can also send a note to the recipients of the file share.

Use the “Delete Share Link” option above if you wish to stop an earlier file share via link.

“Add another link” let you create another file share link for the same file. This is a very powerful and useful feature as it lets you share the file with different target users/groups with different controls/permissions.
