ZumoDrive Tip of the Week: Share Single Files with Links
Most of you are well aware of our sharing via email feature in ZumoDrive. It's very useful when you're sharing entire folders with your friends, family, and colleagues. While this is a great way to share folders, it's not the easiest and most efficient way to share single files. You'll notice that when you open up the sharing window (on the desktop client), the first tab is getting a link, and the second is to add an email. When sharing single files, it's far more effective to just get a link and send that to the other user. Here are the steps to do so:
- Right click on the file you wish to share. Select "ZumoDrive - Share...".
- When the window pops up, click on the "Get Link" button. You will see a URL created right below it.
- Click on the "Copy to clipboard" button then close the window.
- Paste the link into the email, instant message, Facebook/Twitter status, or any other document you are sending.
It's as easy as that! All the other user has to do is click on the link you sent and it will bring them to a page where they can download the file.
Note: You can also create links to files via our web interface. When you click on a file, the sidebar to the right will have an option for you to create a link. This is a very helpful option when you’re not on your own machine, yet still wish to share your files on the go.
