Every share link in StaccShare has a permission level that controls what the recipient can do when they open the link. Whether you’re sharing a draft for review or delivering a final asset, permissions ensure your content is accessed in exactly the way you intend.

​
Available permission levels

View only

Recipients can preview the file directly in their browser but cannot download it. Use this for reviewing drafts, sharing sensitive documents, or any situation where you want to control distribution of the original file.

View + Download

Recipients can preview the file and download the original at full quality. Use this when delivering final assets, such as completed designs, video exports, or documents the recipient needs to keep.

​
Setting permissions

When creating a share link, select the permission level in the Share dialog before clicking Create share link. The default is View only — switch to View + Download if the recipient needs to save the file. To change permissions on an existing link:
  1. Open the Shares dashboard.
  2. Click the ⋮ menu on the share you want to update.
  3. Select Edit.
  4. Update the permission level.
  5. Click Save.
Changes take effect immediately. The link URL does not change.

​
Password protection

Password-protected links are only available on Pro and Team plans.
For an extra layer of security, add a password to any share link. Recipients must enter the correct password before they can view the share page.
  1. Open the Share dialog for the file or collection.
  2. Toggle on Password protection.
  3. Enter the password you want recipients to use.
  4. Click Create share link.
Share the password with your recipient separately — StaccShare does not send it automatically.
For internal collaboration where only your team members should access content, use a Workspace rather than a share link. Workspaces require team membership to access. Learn about Workspaces.
