# Sharing Files and Folders

### Simple Sharing

Sharing a file or folder with someone is easy! All you have to do is click on the `share button` (the button with three dots connected by two lines) to pull up the share sidebar, and type the recipient's name in the "Name, email, or Federated Cloud ID" box.

### Sharing with a Link

To share a file or folder using a link, click on the `share button` (the button with three dots connected by two lines), click the `+` to the right of "Share link". The link will automatically be copied to your clipboard, but you can copy it again by clicking on the clipboard icon.

### Changing Permissions
You can also edit sharing permissions. For example, if you only want the recipient to be able to view a folder but not edit it, click on the three dots to the side of their name, and uncheck `Allow editing` and `Allow deleting`.
