With RushFiles, you have the option to give access to particular folders or files on your share to anybody by creating a Public Link.
✔ This way, you don't have to go through the user creation/invitation procedure to share some data.
✔ You don't have to worry about them accessing/editing other files or uploading new ones either, since a public link is Read-only.
✔ If you want to edit or find the URL of an already created public link, you can do that in the web client under the Links menu.
✔ The Public Link, by default, will be displayed in the Language set for your Company Account. Users can change the display language while viewing the link by clicking on the Country Flag in the bottom-right corner.
Here's an opened public link:
There are several ways to create public links:
1) Web client

✔ Click on "Share List".
✔ Navigate to your folder or file.
✔ Right-click on the folder or file.
✔ Click on "Create public link".
✔ Fill out the popup.
✔ Type something in the "Personal message" text box, this will become the heading of the public link.
✔ You can set a password for this link. Check the "Enable password protection" option, and type the password into the "Password" field.
✔ You can also decide when the link should expire. Set the number of days under "Expiry date" to the desired amount.
✔ The URL of the public link will be shown. Send this to the person you want to share the files with.
2) Windows and Mac clients
