# Set Up and Customise Your StaccShare Public Profile

> Create a public profile on StaccShare to showcase your best files and collections at a custom URL that anyone can visit — no login required.

Your StaccShare public profile is a page at `staccshare.com/yourname` that you can use to showcase selected files and collections. It's a simple, shareable portfolio or media page that anyone can visit without a StaccShare account — ideal for freelancers, creators, and teams who want a single link to their best work.

## Enabling your public profile

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open your Profile settings">
    Go to **Settings → Profile**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Toggle on your public profile">
    Switch **Enable public profile** to on.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm your username">
    Make sure you've set a username at **Settings → Profile → Username** — this becomes the last part of your profile URL. If you haven't set one yet, you'll be prompted to do so before the profile can go live.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Your profile is live">
    Visit `staccshare.com/[username]` to see your public profile page. Share this URL anywhere you like.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Adding content to your profile

Your public profile only shows files and collections you've explicitly marked as "on profile" — nothing appears automatically.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="From the Share modal">
    **For a file:**

    1. Open the file's Share modal
    2. Create a share link (the file must be shared before it can appear on your profile)
    3. Click **Show on your profile**
    4. You'll be taken to the Public Profile settings where you can confirm and manage the item

    **For a collection:** follow the same steps via the collection's Share modal.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="From Profile settings">
    1. Go to **Settings → Profile → Profile content**
    2. Switch to the **Files** or **Collections** tab
    3. Check the items you want to show on your profile, or uncheck items to remove them
    4. Changes save automatically
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## What your profile looks like

When someone visits your public profile, they see:

* Your **display name** and **profile photo** (if set)
* Your **bio** (if set), shown beneath your name
* A **grid of your selected files and collections**

Visitors can click any item to open its share page, where they can preview or download the file based on the share permissions you've set.

## Customising your profile

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Add a bio" icon="align-left">
    Go to **Settings → Profile → Bio** and write a short bio of up to 160 characters. It appears directly under your display name on your public profile.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Upload a profile photo" icon="circle-user">
    Go to **Settings → Profile → Profile photo** and upload an image. This photo appears on your public profile page and in any workspace context where your identity is shown.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Custom branding (Pro/Team)" icon="paintbrush">
    On Pro and Team plans, go to **Settings → Branding** to set a custom share page background colour and upload a logo that overrides StaccShare's default branding across your share pages and profile.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Set your username" icon="at">
    Go to **Settings → Profile → Username** to change your username. Note that changing your username changes your public profile URL — update any links you've already shared.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Tip>
  Use your public profile as a simple portfolio link. Put `staccshare.com/yourname` in your email signature, social media bio, or on your website to give anyone instant access to your best work.
</Tip>

## Disabling your profile

If you want to take your public profile offline:

1. Go to **Settings → Profile**
2. Toggle **Enable public profile** off

Your profile URL will return a "not found" page to visitors. All of your files and collections remain in your library, and any existing share links you've created are not affected — only the public profile page itself goes offline.
