From password-protected share links to real-time collaborative editing, AXIS CloudSync gives you complete control over who accesses your files, how long they can access them, and what they can do with them.
Sharing Capabilities
Whether sharing internally with your team or externally with clients and partners, AXIS CloudSync provides the controls you need to keep data secure.
Generate a shareable link for any file or folder and send it to anyone — no AXIS CloudSync account required. Ideal for sharing large files with clients, vendors, or partners who don't use your platform.
Require recipients to log in with unique credentials before accessing shared content. Set expiration dates on share links — giving you full control over who accesses your files and for how long.
Create shared folders for internal teams with granular role-based permissions. Assign read-only, read-write, or admin roles per user or group. Changes sync instantly for all team members.
Recipients can preview documents, images, PDFs, and spreadsheets directly in the browser before downloading. Reduces unnecessary downloads and speeds up review workflows.
Edit Microsoft 365 documents (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx) directly in the browser or mobile app via Office Online integration — no desktop software required. Files sync automatically when you save.
Lock a file before editing to prevent simultaneous changes from other users. The lock is automatically released when you save and close. Eliminates version conflicts in collaborative workflows.
Share files directly from Microsoft Outlook without leaving your email client. The add-in converts large attachments into secure share links automatically, keeping email sizes small and files secure.
Invite external collaborators as guest users with limited, scoped access to specific folders. Guests can upload, download, and collaborate without accessing any other part of your organization's data.
Receive an email notification every time someone downloads a file from a share link. Know exactly who accessed your files and when — essential for audit trails in regulated industries.
