FAQ

What is the difference between the two sharing methods?

  1. Sharing from the cloud document list does not require you to open the file first, so it is useful for quick handling from the file list.
  2. Sharing inside a document lets you start collaboration while editing, without interrupting your current work.
  3. Both methods generate a cloud document link, and both support link permissions and advanced settings afterward.

Can I change permissions after sharing?

  1. Yes. Open the Link Permissions drop-down menu in the sharing dialog.
  2. Select the access level you want to use.
  3. If you need more controls, open Advanced Settings.
  1. First confirm that you clicked Enable collaboration to get a cloud document link.
  2. Check whether your device is connected to the internet, because generating the cloud link requires an online connection.
  3. If the link still does not appear, reopen the sharing dialog and try enabling collaboration again.

Which entry should I choose when sharing with others?

  1. If the file is not open yet, sharing from the cloud document list usually takes fewer steps.
  2. If you are already editing the file, the in-document Share button is more convenient.
  3. After choosing the entry, set the link permissions based on what recipients need.
