Share your files with anyone!

by Ondrej Hrebicek

Need to quickly send a file to someone? Don’t bother with email! It’s slow, unsecured, and has limits on the size of your attachments. Why not just let your mom, friend, or colleague download your file with a single click?

With the latest update to Syncplicity, you can. If your files are being synced by Syncplicity, your computer already did all the hard work of uploading them - so why do it again? Just right click on any file in any Syncplicity folder, open the Syncplicity menu, and click “Get a shareable link…”. Syncplicity will come right back with a link you can send to anyone.

This is what it looks like:

And this is the window that will pop right up:

The link you get is a public one so anyone, even people without Syncplicity accounts, will be able to use it if they find out about it. The link contains a secret key so only those people you give the link to (and people they give it to) will be able to dowload your file.

And as everything else in Syncplicity, all downloads are secure and fully encrypted.

Let us know what you think about this feature on our forums - we’d love to hear about how you use it!

Have a great week,
Ondrej

    Can you manage the files you have made public?

    ie. withdraw the public link when you no longer want to share that file online?

  2. Ondrej Says:

    Jay - not today, but if you email us we’ll be happy to send you the list and remove any unwanted shared links.
