Sharing

Stashii has two sharing modes: public links (anyone with the link can view) and People invites (restricted to specific contacts). You can share files, folders, and collections from your workspace.

Share with a Public Link

Use public links when anyone who receives the link should be able to view the content.

1. Select a file or folder in Library (long-press or open it on Mobile).
2. Choose Share, then Public Link (Web) or Share Public (Mobile).
3. Toggle public sharing on.
4. Copy the link and send it to anyone.

Public Link Behavior

• Links expire after 90 days by default.
• Expired links can be renewed from the Share modal.
• You can disable a link at any time to revoke access instantly.

Share with People

Use People sharing when access should be limited to specific contacts in your workspace.

1. Select a file, folder, or collection and choose Share.
2. Choose People (Share with People on Mobile).
3. Select one or more contacts from your People list.
4. Optionally enable Allow Comments so recipients can leave feedback (Web).
5. Send. Each contact receives an email with access instructions.

Contacts need an email address to receive invites. Add them in People first.

Revoke Access

Open the Share modal on the shared item. For public links, toggle sharing off or choose Disable Link. For People shares, remove individual contacts from the access list. Revocation takes effect immediately.

Recipient Experience

Recipients see:

• A shared page with the media you selected, with previews for images, videos, and documents
• A Download button, if downloads are allowed
• A comment section, if comments are enabled for People shares
• The folder structure, for folder shares, so they can browse contents

Password-protected shares

Owners can set a password on a share. Recipients must enter it to view the content. There is no email-verification step for viewing a shared link.

Sharing vs Project Collaboration

• Sharing gives view access to specific files or folders. Recipients see a read-only shared page.
• Project collaboration gives ongoing access to a full project workspace where collaborators can add, organize, and manage media.

These are independent. Sharing a project item does not create a public link for the project itself. See Projects.
