NordLocker’s new locker sharing feature allows secure and effortless file transferring to other people. Sharing is available for new version lockers only. If the files that you are trying to share are saved in older version lockers, you will see a message asking you to move these files to a new locker. This guide will explain how to migrate your files to the new version locker so you can start sharing them.

Locker sharing feature is available on Web Access, Windows, and Android applications. Currently, you can only see lockers shared on other platforms on your macOS application. However, locker sharing is coming soon to macOS as well.

Please note that files saved in old lockers can be moved in the application when using only macOS and Windows. While using Web Access and Android, you will need to download your files to your device first and then upload them again to a newly created locker.
