How to Share a File

Workstorm allows users to share files that already live within Workstorm. To share a file: 

  1. In the Files feature, Message Files, Stream Files, or Task Files, click the ellipsis icon and select Share. In a Direct Message, Channel, or Announcement, click Share beneath the file thumbnail. 
  1. Enter the name of the Message, Stream, or Task with which you would like to share the file and click the matching result. 
  1. To assign a permission level, click on the dropdown to the right of the file recipient and select Download, Share, or View*. To revoke access for a recipient, click the Remove Share icon.
  1. Add additional recipients as needed. Then, click Save.

* File access controls allow the File Owner to select a permission level when they share or upload a file to a Message, Stream, or Task. Please see the following table for a breakdown of permissions:
