# Share link to file

One way to give access to your files is by sharing a link to the file. How people access the file depends on the file's permission.

### File access permissions

You can currently set your file permission to either Private or public.

* Private: This means only members of your team can access the file via the link
* Public: Anyone with the link will be able to view the file, but not edit it

To adjust the access permissions of your file:

* Open the file
* Click on the `Share` button on the top-right bar.
* Once the modal pops, you can adjust the file access permissions to either private or public.
