How do I create sharing links on my Android device?

You can create a link ( Send link option) with which you can share files and folders from your Koofr account or select a folder in your Koofr account and create a public link (Receive files ) that allows others to upload files directly to that folder.

Send link option

• Choose file or folder for which you want to create a download link.
• Tap on the More option menu icon on the right side of the chosen file/folder and select Share
• Share with window will pop-up offering multiple communications services through which you can share your link
• Tap on Edit link properties . A new window will open where you can edit the link.
• Here you can view the link, add the password protection to the link, set custom password or generate a new one, see or change the expiration time of the link, edit short URL, add a custom message to your sharing link, enlarge a QR code, hide download button and see how many times your link was opened. You can also remove link.
• Press on Done.
• Copy the link and share it with others.
• With Send link option, you can share the files with people who don’t have Koofr accounts. This is read-only access; others cannot upload files through these links.

Receive files option:

• Choose the folder that you want the received files stored in
• Tap on the More option menu icon on the right side of the chosen file/folder and select Receive files to create an upload link, which allows others to upload files into the folder you selected
• A bottom sheet will open offering multiple communications services through which you can share your link
• Tap on Edit link properties if you want to edit link. Then press on Done .
• Here you can view the link, set the password protection to the link and set custom password or generate a new one, see or change the expiration time of the link, edit your link’s URL, add a custom message to your sharing link, enlarge QR code, receive files via special email address, see the number of files that were received through your link and enable email notification for received files.
• Press on Done.
• Copy the link and share it with others.

Editing the URL, setting a custom password, adding a custom message to your link and receiving e-mail notifications when someone uploads files to your folder are only available in the Koofr accounts with subscriptions.

Files can be shared publicly with or without the password protection. The only exception are potentially malicious files (executables, packages etc.), which cannot be shared without a password, due to the antivirus and browser requirements.

Regardless of the previous note, users with free accounts cannot publicly share executables and other commonly malicious files.
