Create a Lightbox share link

Who can use this feature?

All member roles can create a share link for a Lightbox that they own.

Available on all plans

Share links allow you to share files with other people, without requiring them to create an identity or log in. This removes a lot of friction from the sharing process, but it also means you don’t know who has accessed the files. Share links can only be made for Lightboxes. 

Non-Members with a share link can:

• View all assets in the Lightbox.
• Download files based on share link permissions.

As the Lightbox owner, you get to decide what permissions are applied to the share link. You can watermark images, pick the file resolution, enable/disable downloads and set an expiration date for the link to expire.

Tip: A Lightbox can have multiple share links. This allows you to share a Lightbox with different audiences. For example, you may want one group to be able to download files without watermarks, but another group to have watermarks on images.
