How to share NordLocker's files via email with another user

With NordLocker’s file-sharing feature, you can easily share the Root folder's access via email. The recipient will need the NordLocker app to access the files, and thanks to end-to-end encryption, your files stay secure while being accessed. Depending on the access type, the recipients will be granted access to the files in your locker and will be able to view, download, and edit them.

 

If you wish to share your NordLocker Root folder's access on the web app, follow these steps:

  1. Open the NordLocker web application, press the my files button on the upper left side, and locate the Root folder you want to share.

    • Viewer access allows your recipient to view the Root folder, but they won't have the ability to edit or delete it.
    • Editor access is available only for premium users, it allows your recipients to fully interact with the Root folder. They can edit, add, modify, or delete files and upload new content to the shared space.

  7. Afterward, press the share button.

Lastly, NordLocker offers an additional sharing via link feature, which allows you to easily share your file using a securely generated link. You can send a link and a security code to anyone, regardless of whether they are using NordLocker or not. This person will be able to download a copy of your file to their device.
