Share Links

Share Links can be used to generate disposable links that can be shared with users without a Pathcore account. Share Links can be generated for images, files and folders, and can be configured with various privileges such as expiry dates, anonymization, and annotation visibility controls.

Users with the Manage share links permission can create, edit, and delete Share Links. This permission can be set for Images, Folders, and/or Files.

The Share Links feature is included in all licenses. Access to content via Share Links does not impact licensing, making this tool suitable when there is a need to provide access to content to users without a Pathcore account.

Share Links are designed to be obscure and disposable links, and to facilitate convenient sharing with users that do not have a Pathcore account. Therefore, these links can be accessed by anyone that has been given the link. To provide a measure of security, Share Links should only be shared with trusted parties and can be set to expire.
