Sharing Folders (Boards Desktop)

In addition to sharing an entire board, you can share a specific folder through a web link. Recipients can view the folder's content on any platform and add it to their Boards account by following the link on their mobile phones.

Here's how to share a folder from Boards Desktop:

1. Open the folder you'd like to share
2. Click the "Copy" icon in the upper right corner of your screen.

Your folder has already been copied to your clipboard and you can now share it anywhere you choose.

Recipients will see the shared folder via link:

If someone opens a shared folder link on their phone and taps "Open in Boards" they can access the shared folder using the Boards Desktop editor. If they are already logged in on Boards Desktop, they will be directed to view the content within the Boards Desktop editor. They will then have the option to join the Board, where they will see Boards content updates (if the Board invitation link to add members is activated) or they can choose specific pieces of content, folders, or subfolders and save them to their own Boards, however, they will not receive content updates if the original content changes.

How recipients can join the Board containing the shared content via the link:

1. Enter the shared link
2. Click Open in Boards
3. Click Join Board

How recipients can save the shared content by link to their own Boards:

1. Enter the shared link
2. Click Open in Boards
3. Browse in the shared folder and select the content pieces they want to save to their own Boards
4. Click Save
5. Select where they want to save it by clicking Save here. They can save it in existing Boards, folders, or subfolders, or they can create new ones
