Keep folders in step
Choose the folders you want on a device – in Finder, Explorer or the Files app. Changes made offline are applied when you are back online. If two devices change the same file, both versions are kept.
Sharing: links with guard rails.
Share large files or whole folders with a link – recipients need neither an account nor an app. Tie the link to the people who should open it and let others send files to you.
Snapshot or live
By default a link shares a snapshot: the recipient gets the files as they are today. A live link, which shows later changes, is something you choose on purpose.
Set an end date
Give a link an expiry date. After that it stops working, even if nobody revoked it.
Tied to a recipient
Bind a link to an email address. The recipient confirms with a one-time code sent to that address, so a forwarded link alone does not open the file.
Scanned before download
Files shared by email or link are checked for malware first. A download stays blocked until the scan has a result. A scan lowers the risk but cannot prove that a file is safe.
Ask for files
Create a request that lets others upload into a folder you choose. They can add files, but not see or change what is already there.
No paid seat for guests
People who open your link or upload through a request do not need a paid seat.
Stop sharing
Remove a link whenever you like. People who already downloaded a file keep their copy.
Good to know
- Shared files in the cloud are readable by the service, which is why they can be scanned. For a file that must stay private, send it directly instead.

Find by name or content
Type a few letters, typos included. Results can come from file names and from what is inside supported files.
Go back in time
Restore an earlier version of a file, bring back deleted files from the trash or restore a whole folder.
