Sharing a file
Share a file with others using the IBM® Connections Files plug-in for IBM® Notes®.
About this task
When you share a file, you can give people Reader or Editor access. You can give communities Reader access.
You can also share files that have been shared with you if the owner allows it, but you cannot make them public. Only owners can make a file public.
To see who has access to your files, right-click a file and click Sharing details.
Depending on whether you are connecting to a SmartCloud or a Connections site, you have different options for sharing files with users outside of your organization. If you are connecting to a SmartCloud site, anytime you upload a file and specify sharing options, you can choose the Allow files to be shared with people outside of my organization option. In that case, people in your organization can share the file with external users. This option is only available when you upload the file and cannot be changed after file upload.
