Sharing Objects & Folders with a Link
Regardless of the permissions and rights for different users and groups within the edu-sharing platform, you can also share file by sending a special e-mail invitation. This way users without an account for your repository can access your content. It is possible to define an expiration date, after which the download of the file is no longer possible.
In order to share an object via link you have to be the owner of the object or have "coordinator - rights".
Objects for which you only have "viewer" rights can not be shared with external users.

Creating shared links
A shared link is created in the Workspace view of the edu-sharing web app.
Open the context menu for the corresponding object and select the "Invite" option.
The sharing dialog opens. In the upper part of the view you will find the button "SHARE DOWNLOAD LINK". Click on the button.
A new window will open.
The date limit for the link can be activated with the help of the button in the upper screen area.
Use the calendar icon to select the expiration date.
Below the date restriction you can activate and use the password protection.
In the "Link to object" area you will find a check mark for activating and deactivating the link.
With the help of the "COPY LINK" button, you can copy the release link to the clipboard in order to paste it into an e-mail or Messenger message, for example.
At the bottom of the screen, you can see the number of previous downloads / views of your object via the release link.
