Share a link
Every file or folder in the file storage has an address, and links allow for fast access to them. MyOffice Spreadsheet uses two types of links:
•MyOffice internal link: This type of link to a file or folder is intended for authorized users. Internal links are generated automatically when files or folders are created in the file storage and remain the same until the files and folders are deleted from the storage. Clicking the link will open the file or folder, with the access level according to user's current access rights. Note that sending the link does not mean sharing the file or folder. If an email client is connected, users with no access rights can request the access from the owner once they receive the link.
•Public link: This type of link is intended for external (unauthorized) users and is created by the file owner or by the user with the right to manage the file. By clicking the link users will be able to open a file to view, download or print it. An unlimited number of links can be generated for one element. Once created, links cannot be changed, they can be deleted manually by the user or automatically when they expire.

1.Proceed in one of the following ways:
•On the File menu, select Share a link.
•From the Sharing settings window, click Share a link.
2.In the opened window, select the tab with the type of link that you want to provide.

Public link
If the application version installed on your computer does not allow for creating public links, the Public links tab is not displayed. You can create a MyOffice internal link instead.
Public links to a file can be created by its owner or by a user with Can manage permissions. For users with Can view and Can edit permissions, the Public link tab displays the appropriate notification with information about the document owner. On the Public links tab, you can create new public links to an element, view existing ones and manage them. Active links are displayed in a list. For public links, the link address, expiration date, link author and password (if any), are indicated. The list of links is sorted in ascending order depending on the link validity period. The sorting type cannot be changed. The following actions with public links can be performed: •Copy a link •Copy a password •Copying data to access the element (link, expiration date and password, if any) •Delete a link A public link can be blocked by the system administrator in charge of MyOffice applications or automatically when spam is suspected (for example, when a large number of similar requests are received from users or programs).
