Share links
Send files and folders to anyone with a link, with a password and an end date, and switch them off at any time.
A share link lets someone outside your business open a file or a folder without an Ellibo account.
Make a share link
- Choose Share on a file or a folder.
- Turn on Share link.
- Choose whether people may download.
- Copy the link into your own message, or choose Email the link to send it from Documents.
On Standard and up you can also:
- Add a password - people must type it before they see anything. Send it to them by another way, such as a phone message.
- Set an end date - the link stops working on that day.
An Admin can make every new link end after a set number of days in Settings > Preferences.
What people see
A clean page with your business name and logo, the file's preview, and a download button if you allowed it. A folder link shows the files in the folder. On the Free plan the page carries a small "Made with Ellibo Documents" line; on Standard and up it shows only your business.
Links always give the newest version of a file.
See and stop your links
Share links in the menu lists every link: what it shares, who made it, its end date, and when it was last opened. Turn a link off and it stops working at once. Turn it on again and the same address works again.
Members see their own links; Admins and Managers see all of them.
Links and your plan
Links are checked every time they are opened. If a password or end date is no longer in your plan, or a paid plan ends, the link follows the plan at that moment.
Contact documents page
On Standard and up, a customer or vendor can have one page with every file you share with them. Pick the contact when you share, and send them their page from the share window.
