Share a File Using a Secure Link

When you send a file with a secure link, recipients receive an email (to the one you want) with a secure link that allows them to open and view the file in a browser. They don't need to have access to the client portal or even have to be one of your clients (used for third parties like lawyers).

You can share, re-share, or revoke access to the file at any time. You can also share a file with multiple recipients at once.

1. Click Files on the global navigation bar and choose Contact.

2. Locate and select the file you wish to share.

If needed, search for the file by typing the name in the Search your files search bar.

3. Right-click the file.

4. Click Share file link.

5. Add the recipient(s) with whom you would like to share the file.

Clicking the Add recipients field populates a list of Contacts and Team Members associated with the file.

To add an external recipient like a bookkeeper or lawyer, type in the email and select the checkbox next to the listed email. Don't forget to click Done!

6. To add a personal message, toggle on the Include a personalized message.

Optionally, you can use a Template here.

7. Select the date field to set a Link expiration date.

Take note that the minimum requirement for link expiration is 2 days from creation.
The expiration date also cannot exceed 2 weeks from creation.
