Add a read-only user to a shared folder

Adding a user with read-only permissions allows them to only view and download files from the folder. Follow the steps below to set-up a shared folder to a user and grant read-only access.

1. Click “Files” tab > Select the folder you’d like to share > click “Share”

2. Click “Add contacts” (for sharing folders with Contacts or Users/Usernames)

3. For new Contacts
> Enter email addresses of people you want to share the folder with if they are not already contacts
For existing Contacts or Users already in the account
> Click “Add contacts” and select email or Username

4. Select the Allow Access privilege for these contacts
Note: You can update the individual contact privileges and notifications later if required

5. Click continue; you can now view a complete list of shared privileges and notifications (see below)
