Shared Links Manager¶
The Shared Links Manager shows you all the download links and shared folders you’ve created on the servers in your locations list, and allows you to manage them.
Use the Type dropdown to switch between Download Links and Shared Folders. Type in the Search box to filter the list by location or link.
Download Links¶
Download Links are one of the easiest ways to transfer files to someone else using JetStream, because that person does not need to know any of the server details or login information to obtain the files. The link encodes all that information, allowing JetStream to start the download with minimum fuss. Once you have sent someone a link, they can paste it into their JetStream application using the Download Shared Files feature.
In the list, you can see each link’s location, owner, whether it has a passphrase, its creation and expiry dates, the number of times someone has downloaded the files, the download limit if one was set, the number and size of the files, and the description if you created one.
Shared Folders¶
