Improved Sharing Settings

Earlier today we rolled out improved sharing settings at the account level. Users were asking for ways to control permalink visibility and file downloads from the account level. Today, we’re happy to announce Public Permalinks and Downloadable Versions at the account level.

Public Permalinks allow the files that you work on to be collaborate on to be visible from a randomly-generated URL, like a YouTube video. It’s a great way to share work with a client or hand work off to a developer. The Latest Permalink will always display the most recent version of the file. Here’s an example of a Permalink page showing off our own Account page.

Downloadable Versions allow anyone visiting a permalink page to securely download the full version of the file, e.g. the Photoshop document.

Existing users can see the new controls on their Settings page. We think our new settings are a step in the right direction and give us the flexibility to give users more control where necessary.

Let us know what you think!
