Sharing a file or folder with a person is the most direct route when the recipient already works in ioMoVo. The content stays where it is and appears in their Shared with Me.
Sharing a file
Sharing a folder
Sharing a folder shares what is inside it, so it is the right move when someone needs to work across a set rather than open one item.
Think about the folder, not just the file
Before sharing a folder, look at what is actually in it. Folders accumulate, and the thing that catches people out is not the file they meant to share but the three they forgot were sitting alongside it.
If a folder holds a mix of material and only part of it should go out, it is usually quicker to share the specific files than to reorganize under time pressure.
Sharing does not change permissions on the original
The content stays in its original location. You are giving someone a route to it, not moving or copying anything, so there is only ever one version and no risk of the two drifting apart.
When a person is not the right target
If your recipient does not have ioMoVo access, sharing to them directly is not the tool. Use a CDN link for something quick, or a portal for a body of work. See Which sharing method should you use.
