Sharing files and documents
Anything in Drive can be shared two ways: with named people, each with their own role, or with a link that anyone can open, including people who have no Qubix account. Both work for a single file, a document, or a whole folder.
Sharing is opened from the right-click menu of a file or folder — the Quyền truy cập entry — and from inside an open document, where it is the Chia sẻ button. The button in a document appears only if you may share the item; the menu entry in the file manager is always there, but opening it without the right to share ends in a refusal.
Give access to a person
-
Open the item's Quyền truy cập dialog.
-
In Thêm người, start typing a name or an @handle and pick the person. They are added as a Người xem.
-
Change the role in the list next to their name.
The three roles:
- Người xem — can open and read.
- Người bình luận — can also leave comments.
- Người chỉnh sửa — can also edit.
The list is headed Người có quyền truy cập and always starts with the Chủ sở hữu. Everyone you share with finds the item on the Được chia sẻ với tôi shelf. Access is taken back in the same list: pick Xóa quyền truy cập next to the person — they lose it immediately.
Shared items are marked in the file manager: a small people icon next to the name means Đã chia sẻ với người khác, so you can tell at a glance what has left your hands.
Share a folder once and everything you create or upload in it afterwards is shared with the same people — usually far less work than sharing files one by one.
An item moved into a shared folder is the exception: it keeps the access it already had and does not pick up the folder's people. Share it separately, or create it in the folder in the first place.
Hand out a link
Use a link when the person has no Qubix account — a designer, a contractor, an affiliate manager.
-
In Quyền truy cập chung, switch Bị hạn chế to Bất kỳ ai có liên kết.
-
In Vai trò của liên kết, choose what the link allows: view, comment or edit.
-
Press Sao chép liên kết and send the link.
A link to a folder lets the guest walk the whole folder and open what's inside; a link to a file or a document opens that one item. If the link grants commenting or editing, the guest also gets the comment panel and sees other people's comments appear live, without a page reload; a view-only link has no comments at all.
The two modes read as their hints say: Chỉ người có quyền truy cập mới có thể mở versus Bất kỳ ai trên internet có liên kết đều có thể mở. Switching back to Bị hạn chế revokes the link — anyone who opens it after that gets "Liên kết này không hợp lệ", with the hint that access was turned off. That is how you cut off a link you already sent.
What the guest sees
The link opens a page of its own, without a Qubix login. It shows the item's name and a Đã chia sẻ qua liên kết mark, and what happens next depends on what you allowed:
- A folder — a list to walk through; folders open deeper, files download.
- A file — a download card.
- A document — the document itself, editable if the link grants editing.
- Comments — a commenter or editor guest can write in the comment panel and sees other people's comments appear live. Guests are signed as Khách, since they have no account of their own.
Three screens replace the content when something is closed: "Liên kết này được bảo vệ bằng mật khẩu" asks for the password, "Liên kết này đã hết hạn" appears once the expiry date has passed, and "Liên kết này không hợp lệ" comes up for a revoked or wrong link. A wrong password answers Sai mật khẩu and lets the guest try again.
Password on a link
A link on its own is the key: whoever receives it can open the item, and it can be forwarded. A password closes that.
- With the link turned on, fill Đặt mật khẩu and press Lưu.
- Pass the password to the person separately from the link.
Once set, the dialog shows Được bảo vệ bằng mật khẩu with two actions: Đổi and Xóa.
The guest is asked for the password once and stays unlocked for a year. Changing it immediately locks out everyone who unlocked the link with the old one, so change it when someone should no longer have access. Removing it leaves the link open again.
Expiry date
Set Thời hạn liên kết to 1 ngày, 7 ngày, 30 ngày or Ngày tùy chỉnh and pick the day and time yourself. After that moment the link stops working by itself and the guest sees a plain "the link has expired" screen instead of your files. Không hết hạn keeps it open indefinitely.
Sending a folder to a contractor for a week? Set the expiry to 7 days — the access closes itself, with nothing to remember and nothing to revoke by hand.
Hide one subfolder from a shared folder
Inside a shared folder there may be one subfolder nobody else should see — drafts, internal numbers. Open that subfolder's sharing dialog and turn on Loại trừ khỏi chia sẻ của thư mục cha. It disappears completely: it is not listed and not reachable, both for people you shared with and for link guests.
Downloading, copying and printing
The gear — Cài đặt — opens the settings view. Under Ai có thể tải xuống, sao chép và in you decide who may take the content out of Drive: separately for Người chỉnh sửa and for Người bình luận và người xem. With it turned off, viewers and commenters no longer see the download button. An editor restricted by the editors' switch loses it inside an open document, while in the file list the button stays visible and the refusal comes when the file is actually fetched.
The same switch applies to link guests, by the role the link grants: a link that only allows viewing will not download a file if you closed downloading for viewers. The guest is told why, in place of the download button: «Chủ sở hữu đã tắt tính năng tải xuống cho liên kết này.»
The switch under Quyền truy cập — Cho phép người chỉnh sửa thay đổi quyền và chia sẻ — decides whether your editors may pass access on to other people. With it off, sharing stays yours alone.
Handing an item over
Pick Chuyển quyền sở hữu next to a person and confirm: they become the owner, and you stay on the item as an editor. Useful when someone leaves the team or a project moves to another person.
