Sharing files, folders, and projects

With KLASH, there are two main ways to share assets. Invite your team as members of the project, or share assets with external users with nothing more than a link.

Creating a link for Share users

You can share individual files, folders, and projects. You can also collect files from different folders in a playlist. It's possible to create unique links for the same file or folder for different Share users; each with a private communication channel.

1. Navigate to the project, and right-click on any file or folder that you want to share. Click Share. You can share multiple files by either sharing a folder or a playlist.

2. Add a Share name. Share names are only displayed for your team members, not the share recipients.

3. Click Security, and select between Open access, Password, Email Two-Factor, or Phone Two-Factor.

4. Enable or disable commenting and downloading of files.

5. Add an optional personal message.

6. If you picked phone two-factor in step 3, you need to add the recipient's email address or mobile phone number.

7. In the Advanced tab you can find Version to share, Allow status change, Audio switching, Link availability, and Watermarking settings.

8. Click Create.

Audio switching

Allow audio switching to let the Share user switch between linked audio tracks. If disabled, the player will use the saved audio settings. Learn more about Audio linking.

Link availability

With Link availability, you can set start and end dates and limit the number of views. The Share user will see a countdown until the link becomes available. A view is counted as someone watching at least 75 percent of the video.

Watermarking

With KLASH, you can add dynamic watermarking to protect your content. Dynamic watermarking can show the Share user’s email address, IP number, logo, and more. Create watermark presets by the following steps:

1. Navigate to the left side menu, and click on the project where you want to add watermarking.

2. Click Settings in the project navigation bar.

3. Click Watermarking, and then Create new preset.

4. In Edit watermarking presets, click Add element, and select the type of watermark you want to add. To add more than one element, click Add element again.

5. Select a name for your watermark preset, and click Save preset.

6. Close Edit watermark presets.

7. Select default watermarking in the dropdown menus for Project members and/or Share users. As an Admin, it's possible to override default watermarking in links for Share users.

Creating and sharing playlists

You can share multiple files, or files from different folders, in a playlist.

1. Navigate to the project, and click on the Playlists tab.

2. Click on the New button.

3. Add a name for your playlist, and select where to store your playlist.

4. Drag and drop files to the playlist.

5. When you’re done editing, close the playlist modal.

6. Share your playlist internally or externally using the same steps as in the Creating a link for Share users.

FAQ

Where can I overview the links that I have created?

Navigate to the Share links tab in the project.

What happens when I change the settings in an already-created link?

The settings will be updated for the Share user. The Share user might have to reload the page to see the changes. Any new person that you add to an existing link with Email Two-Factor or Phone Two-Factor enabled will receive instructions by email.
