Updated over a week ago

There are three ways of publicly sharing assets in Dash:

  • Generating a quick share link to one or more assets you have selected

  • Adding assets to a collection and then sharing that collection

  • Creating a portal that gives public read-only access to selected folders

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a way to keep track of all the shares I've created?

Yes, you can manage and configure your shares easily in Dash, find out how here.

How do I control what information is made public?

You can control which of your fields you include in public share pages. Read this article to learn how.

Can I get a direct link to an asset, to embed in 3rd party applications?

Can I locate assets from shares that have expired?

It isn't possible within Dash to locate assets from shares that have previously expired. That said, if the share recently expired (within 30 days), get in touch with the link and we'll see if we can provide the list of assets for you.

Is it possible to prevent users from creating share links?

Any user with a Dash login is able to create share links; it isn't possible to restrict this.

Public visitors (e.g. to portals and other share links) aren't able to create share links.
