Sharing content and track engagement with Mediafly

Sharing from Mediafly is extremely powerful. Beyond providing many sharing customizations, you will receive useful analytics when prospects or customers view your shared content. You can share content from any of our platforms and there is no limit on the number of shares. 

Keys to success

• Never worry about size limits again! Since Mediafly sharing utilizes links, you can include as many files as need
• Customize your share link settings based on your needs
• Share Collections, Workspaces or single items. With our universal sharing, your experience will be the same regardless of your platform
• Track who you've shared with by using the compose option or enabling "Collect visitor info"

Quick share on web

We suggest using the Get Link share method in most cases which allows for recipients to copy and re-share your share link easily with other team members. If the same share link is sent to other recipients, the original settings will apply. 

1. Navigate to the content you would like to share

2. From the menu, select the Share option

3. Select Get Link then Save

4. The share link will automatically copy to your clipboard and you can paste to share with your recipient

Sharing with Compose can be used for one-to-one sharing as the recipient will receive a link unique to them. However, if re-shared, additional individual viewers will not be tracked
