In PreVeil Drive, you have the ability to generate a link to a folder or file that you can then share with another PreVeil user to have them access that folder or file.
This is an ease of access functionality that allows you to direct someone to a folder or file that you want them to access via a URL link you can generate and send to them.
Because Drive data needs to be explicitly shared with someone before they can access it, the links will work only for people you’ve already shared the data with.
Sending a link to someone who you’ve not already shared the data with will not grant them access to the data.
