How to Share Folders

Easily share captured evidence securely—with no exports required

Page Vault's folder sharing feature allows you to securely share view-only access to captured evidence with colleagues, clients, or external experts—no downloads or exports required. It’s built for efficient collaboration while preserving the original integrity of your evidence.

How Folder Sharing Works

You can share any folder in your Page Vault account using one of two methods:

  1. Email Invitation
     Send access directly to specific email addresses.
     Recipients must validate their email before gaining access.

  2. Public Link
     Generate a secure URL to share with multiple recipients.
     Anyone with the link can view the folder and any sub-folders.

All shared folders are view-only, and access can be revoked at any time.


Sharing a Folder

  1. Open the folder you want to share.

  2. Click the “Share” button.

  3. Choose to either:
     • Enter an email address to send an invitation

     • Generate a public link

  4. Share the link or confirm the invitation to grant access

To stop sharing a folder:

  • Go to the shared folder

  • Click “Manage Sharing”

  • Select “Stop Sharing”


Receiving a Shared Folder

  • If you’re a Page Vault customer, folders shared with you will appear in the “Shared with Me” section of your folder list.

  • External users do not need a Page Vault account to view shared folders. They only need to verify their email.


Security and Control

  • View-only access maintains evidence integrity

  • Email verification is required before access is granted

  • Folder owners can revoke access at any time
