How do I share files from my iOS device?
Sharing a file allows the selected people, to access the files you give them access to.
To share a file in List view, open the File/Folder options menu, by dragging your finger from right to left over the file. To share a file in Tile view, open the File/Folder options menu by pressing on the More options icon in the bottom right of the wanted file.
- Select Share from the menu that pops-up
- A screen with sharing options opens
- You can select your preferred method of sharing out of Add people and Send link
Option 1: Press Add people to add people with whom you want to share the file
- In the Name or email field, type an Email address of the person you want to share file with or select a person from the drop-down menu by typing in their name
- In the same window, you can set the permissions you want to give to a person while sharing the file. You simply press on the permission you want to set for a specific person and a check mark will appear next to it
- Press Add to start sharing the file
- You can add multiple people you want to share with, by pressing the [+] button on the top right side of the screen, for each individual person you wish to add.
Note: You can share files with anyone. Non-members will be automatically invited to join Koofr.
Option 2: Press Send link to create a download link, which allows third parties to download files from your Koofr even if they are not a Koofr user.
- Press Create Download link
- Decide whether the Link is public or Link is protected by toggling the switch icon next to the Protect with password text
- Press Share link to share the link
- The iOS sharing menu pops-up where you get offered multiple communication services for sharing the link
- Select the communication service you want to use (for example Email, text message, etc.) or copy the link
- Koofr will create the download link in your selected service and take you there
- Enter the desired person’s contact information (e.g. Email address) and send them the download link
Note: With this option, you can also share the files with people who don’t have registered Koofr accounts. This is read-only access; others cannot upload files through these links.
