Steps to Share Media
Follow these steps to pick and share media with the right access and limits.
Step 1: Select Media in the Project
– Head to your project dashboard in the Filio web app.
- Check the boxes next to the photos or videos you want to share (you can pick one or multiple items).
– Pro tip: You can share a single media item if that’s all you need!
Step 2: Open the Share Menu
- With your media picked, hit the “Share X media” button at the top of the list.
– This pops up the “Create Share Link” window where you’ll set everything up.
Step 3: Configure and Send the Share Link
- Start by adding a “Share Link Name” to identify your share (this is required; pick something clear like “Team Update” or “Client Review”).
– Add recipients by either clicking “+ Import Users From Directory” to open a contacts selection page and pick from your directory, or manually enter email addresses or cell phone numbers and click “+ Add” (add as many as you like with either method).
- Set Permissions by checking what recipients can do, such as All Access, Project View, or Edit Media, to control their access(We recommend not granting access to Delete Media and Project Settings).
- Pick an “Expiration” timeframe (e.g., One Day) from the dropdown to decide how long the link stays active.
– Hit “Send Link” to send it to recipients, and you’ll see a link you can copy for extra sharing if needed.
Tips and Warnings
Make sharing smooth and safe with these handy tips and heads-ups.
- Pick only the media you need to keep shares focused and secure.
- Use permissions to limit access, like “Project View” for read-only.
- Grab the link after sending to share it anywhere else fast.
- Recipients need a Filio account or might need to sign up to view.
- Set an expiration to avoid endless access, especially on sensitive stuff.
- Double-check permissions so no one accidentally edits or deletes!
