How to Turn on Public Sharing

To use any of the Public Sharing features, including Share and Embed or Manual URL Transformations, you will need to enable the Public Sharing feature, as outlined below. 

Enabling in Admin Settings 

This feature must be enabled within your Admin > Settings page, via a Resources setting called Enable Public Sharing. You can also choose whether you want all of your folders to have this option automatically enabled. Please note that if enabled, all files within these folders can be shared publicly by those with the correct permissions. 

To enable this feature as a default option for all of your folders, select the Enabled option on the Public Sharing Folder Default setting. You will also be able to customize this setting on individual folders. 

 

Enabling on specific folders 

This setting can be applied more granularly on a Folder by Folder basis. In the Folder Settings > Advanced Options section, the Enable Public Sharing checkbox should be selected. Once you've enabled this setting on your folder, you will be able to view the Share / Embed action for all files within the folder, and files are able to be publicly distributed.
