Quick Share: Simple File Sharing

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).

Demonstration: Using Quick Share to generate shareable links

How Quick Share Works

  1. Right-click any file/folder in FTPie or Explorer (with extension installed)
  2. Select "Quick Share" from the context menu
  3. FTPie uploads to your default shareable storage (if not set, uses first compatible storage)
  4. Get a direct link to share with others

"Quick Share has simplified our file sharing - no more emailing attachments back and forth."

Key Features

  • Convenient access - Share directly from right-click menus
  • Cloud integration - Works with storage providers that support shareable links
  • Customizable - Set preferred storage in settings

Important Notes

  • Requires a connected cloud storage that supports shareable links
  • FTP/WebDAV connections cannot be used for Quick Share
  • First compatible storage is used by default (changeable in settings)

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.
