Creating links to files and folders

Once you have files and folders in HCP Anywhere, you can share them with others. One easy way to share a file or folder is to create a link to it. Links allow you to give people access to a file or folder, but on your terms. When you create a link, you can set:

• Who can access the link (people inside or outside your company)

• The number of days before the link expires

• Whether the link requires an access code for additional security

• When sending a link to a folder, the operations that can be performed in the folder: read only (view and download), upload only, or both read and upload

Notes:

•Your company may have disabled link sharing or some of the link sharing features. For example, you may not be able to create public links, links that never expire, or links without access codes.

•If you move, rename, or delete a file or folder, all the links to that file or folder become inactive. You can reactivate these links by restoring the item to its original name and location.
