Enabling Public Access in CloudBox

You can share folders and files from your CloudBox via a public link and set the access level you need. To do this, follow the steps below.

Step 1. Log in to the CloudBox web interface at https://boxXXXXXXX.introserv.cloud/web using your login and password. You can find them in the details of your order. Here boxXXXXXXX is your CloudBox username used to log in (shown here only as an example).

Step 2. On the Files page, create the folder you want to share using the New Folder button, or select one of the existing folders. You can also upload files with the Upload Files button.

Step 3. Select the folder by ticking the checkbox next to it, then open the actions menu (the three dots on the right) and click Share.

Step 4. On the Add share page, set the parameters of your link:

Name: a name for the share.
Scope: the access level. Read for download only, Write for upload only, or Read/Write for both. For Write and Read/Write the path must be a single directory.
Paths: the folder or file being shared (already filled in).
Password: set a password if you want the link to be password-protected.
Expiration: pick an expiration date for the link if needed.

If you need stricter control, you can also set Max tokens (how many times the link can be used), Allowed IP/Mask (restrict access to specific IP addresses), and a Description.

Step 5. Click the Save button. You will be taken to the Shares page, where your new share appears in the list.

Step 6. Find your share in the list and click the link icon on the right.

Step 7. In the Share access links window, choose the type of link you need:

Single zip file: download all shared content as one zip archive.
Single directory: if the share is a folder, browse and download its files in the browser.
Uncompressed file: if the share is a single file, download it without compression.

Use Copy link to copy the public URL, or Go to share / Download to open it directly.

That's it. You have just created a public link to your folder or file.
