Workflows

You can use Share to publish and share files or access files that others are sharing with you.

Sharing files

To share a file, you need to:

  1. Log into Share.

  2. Browse your computer to select the file(s) that you want to share.

  3. Specify who you want to share the file with.

  4. Specify if you want to allow recipients to invite others to view your shared files or limit access to only the specified recipients

  5. Share the file.

    Note: The file is stored in your Share library. The recipients will receive an email containing a link to the file. The file itself is not attached to the email. However, the recipients may see the thumbnail of the document in the email message they receive.

Accessing shared files

To access a shared file, click on the link provided in the email invitation for accessing the file. If the file is secured, you need to log in to Share using your Adobe ID and password in order to access the file.

If the file is not secured, you don’t need to log in to Share to access the file.

Note: If at some point you decide to create a Share account, all of the files that have been shared with you will be automatically added to your library within Share.

When a file is shared with you, you have the option to download the file. However, to access the latest version of the file, use the version that is stored in Share.

Note: The owner of a shared file has the right to remove the file at any time. If the owner of a file removes the file, you can’t access the file unless you have downloaded it to your local hard drive.
