Share a document by link
A link suits files too large for an email, or files that should not stay in the customer’s mailbox for good. You end it whenever you like.

Good to know
- The address appears only right after you create the link. Copy or share it at once.
- When the link is opened for the first time, you receive a notification.
- Personnel files and confidential documents cannot be shared by link. At most 20 links per document are active at the same time.
Common problems
- How do I end a link early?
- Open the links of the document and tap Revoke under Active links.
- I did not copy the address.
- It cannot be shown again. Revoke the link and create a new one.
