How do I share a file from Delta Drive?

\n

Short answer: Select a file or folder and choose Share. Invite named people — they sign in with an emailed code — or choose Anyone with the link for a public link. Pick how long it lasts; every share stops working on its own.

\n

Select the file or folder and choose Share (⇧⌘S), or right-click it and choose Share…. Under Who can open it, choose one of two kinds:

\n
  • People you invite — only the email addresses you name. Each person gets a code by email that signs them in without an account or a password, and you choose what they can do.
  • Anyone with the link — a public link anyone can view, with downloads only if you allow them.
\n

Either way, pick how long it lasts. Every share stops working on its own — there's no "forever".
