# How do I share a file from Delta Drive?

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:

- **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.

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