Quick Share: Simple File Sharing
Right-click any file in FTPie or Windows Explorer to generate a shareable link — works with files on cloud storage, FTP, SFTP, and WebDAV.
Share files quickly via direct links using FTPie's Quick Share feature. Accessible through right-click in both the app and Windows Explorer (with shell extension installed). Works with any file FTPie can see — on cloud storage, FTP, SFTP, or WebDAV — because FTPie bridges non-shareable storages to a cloud of your choice when needed.
How Quick Share Works
- Right-click any file/folder in FTPie or Explorer (with shell extension installed)
- Select Quick Share from the context menu
- FTPie shows a confirmation prompt — you acknowledge that a public link is about to be created
- If the file already lives on a cloud that supports shareable links, the link is generated in place. If it lives on FTP, SFTP, WebDAV or any other storage that can’t mint public links, FTPie streams the file to your default shareable storage and generates the link from there.
- Copy the link from the dialog and share it
"Quick Share has simplified our file sharing — no more emailing attachments back and forth."
Key Features
- Works for every storage — cloud, FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, self-hosted, local files
- Shell extension access — share right from Windows Explorer without opening FTPie
- Default shareable storage is yours to pick — choose which cloud FTPie uses as the public-link bridge (or disable the bridge so it only shares cloud-native files)
- Explicit warning before every public link — you confirm each time, so a link is never generated by accident
- Pairs with built-in capture tools — one right-click to share a Screenshot or Screen Recording you just captured
Not every storage can produce a public link on its own. Plain FTP, SFTP, and WebDAV servers don’t have a public-URL concept. When you Quick Share a file from one of those, FTPie streams the file to your configured default shareable storage (e.g. Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive) and generates the link from there. You pick the destination in settings, and you can turn the bridge off entirely if you’d rather keep sharing to cloud-only files.
Usage Scenarios
Quick Share is perfect for quickly sending files to colleagues, sharing documents with clients, or transferring files between your own devices. While simple to use, it maintains all the standard sharing capabilities of your chosen cloud storage provider.
You can access Quick Share directly from Windows Explorer using the FTPie Shell Extension. It pairs well with the Screenshot and Screen Recording tools to capture and share content in one workflow.
