Create and copy the link

Title and Message to the receiver are optional. The link shares the files included in this selection; it does not add the recipient as a user of your Pickit account.

  1. Select a file and choose Share asset… from its action menu. For several selected files, choose the Share action showing the selected count.
  2. Under Expires, keep the default or choose an available expiry. Custom date and time lets you choose a future date within the permitted limit. No expiration is available only when your account and role allow it.
  3. Choose Create download link, then Copy link. Send the copied link to your recipient.

If you cannot create the link

Read the reason beside any blocked file in Selected assets. Choose Show all if needed, then remove a blocked item with its ×. Every remaining file must be eligible before Create download link becomes available.

This flow shares files you can access. Folders, collections, libraries and linked external files cannot be included. A file whose license is not yet active or has expired is also blocked.

If the Share action is missing or the dialog says external sharing is not enabled, ask your administrator about the account’s sharing settings.
