Secure Document Sharing
Client Cove makes it easy to share files with your team while maintaining control over who can access what. All file sharing is encrypted and auditable.
How Sharing Works
When you upload a file to Client Cove, it is private to your account by default. You can share files with specific team members, and your service provider can share files with you.
All shared files are:
- Encrypted in transit and at rest
- Logged in the activity audit trail
- Subject to the access permissions you or your admin set
Sharing a File
- Navigate to the file you want to share
- Click the Share icon (or right-click and select Share)
- Select the people or groups you want to share with
- Choose the permission level (View or Download)
- Click Share
The recipients will receive a notification that a file has been shared with them.
Share Permissions
| Permission | What It Allows |
|---|---|
| View | The recipient can preview the file in the browser but cannot download it |
| Download | The recipient can preview and download the file to their device |
Your service provider may have additional permission levels based on your portal configuration.
Revoking Access
To remove someone's access to a shared file:
- Open the file's sharing settings
- Find the person whose access you want to remove
- Click the Remove button next to their name
- Confirm the action
The person will no longer be able to view or download the file.
