Open via a public link

Files or folders available to a user via a public link can be previewed, downloaded, or printed. Audio or video files can be previewed, played, rewound, or downloaded.

When opening a folder accessible through a public link, users can view all attached files and folders, download or print the attachments.

To open a file or a folder, open the link using your preferred web browser. If a public link is password-protected, a window will appear on the screen where you need to enter the password. Enter the password in the respective field and click Continue:

The file or folder will open for viewing in the current browser tab.

The password entered by the user to access the file or folder will be saved for 12 hours. The access period to the item by password can be changed by the administrator of MyOffice software. If the user opens the public link once again during this period, the file or folder will open for viewing automatically.
