Sharing files

Faivelo Drive offers two ways to share, and you can use either on any file or folder you own.

A share link lets anyone with the URL open the item — no Faivelo account needed. When you create one you can add safeguards:

  • Password — the recipient must enter it before they can view or download.
  • Expiry — the link stops working after a date you choose.
  • Download limit — cap how many times the item can be downloaded.

Revoke a share link at any time and the URL stops working immediately.

Sharing with people

You can also share directly with specific people by email address, the way you would in Google Drive. Each person gets a role:

  • Viewer — can open and download the item.
  • Editor — can also upload, rename and organise inside a shared folder.

Sharing a folder shares everything inside it: the people you invite gain access to the folder’s current and future contents, and they see it starting from the folder you shared (anything above it stays hidden). Change someone’s role or remove their access whenever you need to.

Which should I use?

  • Reach for a share link for one-off, external, or public sharing — sending a file to a client, for example.
  • Use sharing with people for ongoing collaboration with named teammates who should keep access over time.
