Why Incoming Links Can Seem Missing
First-time users often look in their private drive instead of the shared tab:
Private Drive vs Shared Isolation
Private files and incoming shared transfers are kept in separate tabs to protect privacy.
Expired Link Hiding
Expired links are automatically archived to keep your dashboard clean.
1. Navigating the 'Shared With Me' Tab
Open your Dashboard and click the 'Shared With Me' tab in the left sidebar or top menu. All received links, sender info, and expiration dates appear in one clean table.
- Centralized hub for all incoming file transfers.
- Filter by sender email, file type, or date received.
- 1-click download or save to private cloud storage.
