Public Links
Public links let you share individual items with anyone, even if they don't have an Ente account. Recipients can view the content in their web browser.
This is the way to share individual items with others. To share collections, use Share with Ente users instead.
How it works
When you create a public link:
- A unique URL is generated containing the decryption key
- Anyone with the link can view the content in their browser
- The key is in the URL fragment and never sent to Ente's servers
- No Ente account is required to view the content
Creating a public link
- Long press on the item you want to share
- Tap the share button
- Tap Share link
Deleting a link
- Long press on the item
- Tap the share button
- Tap Delete link
- Confirm deletion
The link will immediately stop working.
Security considerations
- Anyone with the link can view the content
- Links can be forwarded to others
- Delete links when no longer needed
Viewing public links
