# Share Files and Collaborate in GridMail

GridMail includes a Personal Drive in the **Files** section. Basic mailboxes can upload and view files; Enhanced mailboxes can edit and collaborate on supported documents in the browser.

## Share a folder with colleagues

1. Right-click a folder → **Properties**.
2. Enable **Activate sharing**.
3. Open **Permissions** → **+** to add people or groups.
4. Choose their access: Read only, Read and create, Write, Write and delete, or Manage.
5. Select **Save**.

Folders shared with you appear in the **Shared** section.

## Share a file externally

1. Right-click the file → **Share Externally** → **Create Share**.
2. Choose Download only, View in browser or View and edit collaboratively (when available).
3. Set an expiration date and copy the sharing link.

Treat external sharing links as sensitive: anyone holding the link may be able to open the file. Review or revoke existing links from the external sharing controls.
