How to share folders from Jottacloud

Updated over 2 weeks ago

The easiest way to share folders in Jottacloud is through our web interface at www.jottacloud.com.

You can share folders from all storage locations — Sync, Backup, and Archive — but only folders in Sync can be shared by inviting users via email.


Sharing Options

1. Share via Link

This option allows you to generate a public link to your folder.

  • Recipients can view and download the content.

  • No Jottacloud account is required.

2. Share via Email Invitation

This option lets you collaborate on folders with other Jottacloud users.

  • Recipients must have a Jottacloud account.

  • Shared users can edit, upload, download, and delete files within the shared folder.

  • Only available for folders stored in Sync.

Important: When you share a folder, you remain the owner of the folder. Only you can manage sharing permissions and make changes to the top-level folder.
