In Fast.io, a Share is a flexible, centralized folder for distributing and receiving content with customizable permissions and presentation. It works like a shared folder, allowing access to people inside or outside your Organization based on its function and the permissions you set.
Share vs. Storage
A Share is distinct from Storage and content. While Storage is where your files and folders are kept, Shares is a dedicated space for distributing and receiving content. However, you can easily create a Share from a file or folder in your Storage by right-clicking on it and selecting the sharing option.
Types of Shares in Fast.io

Key Advantages of a Share
The additional benefits of a Share is that it also offers options to meet these needs:
Flexible Access Control: A Share can be restricted to the entire Organization, members of its Workspace, specific members, or anyone with the link.
Expiration Date: Each Share can have an expiration date, which disables access to the content once the date is reached.
