Introduction

It is a need to share files in Interaxo Project with external resources not being members of any Interaxo Project  rooms. This is done by creating Public Links to desired files, which in turn can be distributed to external users, e.g. by e-mail.

Shared files can be unshared by removing the Public Link from the system.
