Sharing Files and Folders in Mudstack

Mudstack allows you to easily share files and folders, both with collaborators inside your organization and with people outside your account. Here’s how it works: If you want to share files, libraries, or history items with other users who already have access to your workspace:
  • File Links: You can find a file link by right-clicking on the file or from its sidebar details. Copy the URL and share it with another user in your workspace.
  • Library Links: Accessible from the Library details page; copy and share as needed.
  • Push History/Commit URLs: Right-click an item on the Push History page or open a Push History detail page to copy the URL.
How it works:
  • When another user clicks the link, they’ll be routed directly to the specific item or location in the Mudstack app (if they have access).
  • Only users with the appropriate permissions in that workspace will be able to view the content. Users without access will receive an error or be denied.
