What to share
First, let’s look at the different use cases or scenarios in which you can share assets.
Single files
Right-click on any file in your Kontainer or click on the three-dotted menu on its thumbnail and choose Share.
Multiple files
Pick multiple files within a folder, right-click and hit Share.
Folders
Share entire folders by clicking Share folder in the upper-right folder menu.
Selection tool
Make a selection of files across different folders in your Kontainer, by using the selection tool – indicated with a little star icon.
On a file’s thumbnail, select the star icon in order to add the file to a temporary selection.
Click on the star again in order to remove the file from the selection again.
Access your temporary selection of files by clicking on the star in the top next to the general search bar. The number indicates the amount of files in your temporary selection.
You’ll be able to share your temporary selection via the Share button in the upper-right corner.
Search results
In Kontainer, you can search after e.g. keywords, tags, filetypes and you can use custom fields as individual filters and categories. Read more on the use of custom fields HERE.
Hit Select all files just above your search results.

Public Portals
Instead of manually sending this share link out, you can share the link by e-mail directly from your Kontainer.
Make portals that log users straight into specific folders or areas of your Kontainer.
These are encrypted links you can share without any worries. The links users only see files and data you make available to them.
