Sharing folders remotely with friends

I would like to know if there is a way to share folders and or files with friends by sending them a link and not having them join Readycloud.

 

Thanks in advance,

    Hi Madmax1963,

     

    It is possible. Just log in your ReadyCLOUD admin user, select the share/folder and select the "Share button".

     

    Hope this helps!

     

     

    Kind regards,

    Yes. We added the ability to share a link to a folder in 6.4.0. I believe this could already be done for files on older firmware.

      Thank you for your reply ! I'm very happy to hear that. I Imagine that I would need to have readycloud installed on my end so I can send the link to the file or folder to my friend via email right?
