Sharing
Managing and revoking links
One window with every link you have made, what it has done, and the buttons to change or kill it.
Press ⌘⇧L anywhere in Nemi (Ctrl+Shift+L on Windows and Linux) and the link manager opens on top of whatever you were doing. It lists every link you have made, grouped by workspace, and it is the only place you need for changing or ending one.
Three tabs#
- Download for ordinary share links.
- Embed for embed links, kept apart because they behave differently.
- Upload for upload links, the ones pointing at you.
Reading a card#
Every link is a card with its name, the workspace it belongs to, its URL and a copy button, a 30 day activity chart, and a row of small facts: how many files, how many downloads, how many opens, when it expires, who may open it, and badges for a password, a watermark, Trace or a review round. The label at the top is the status.
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Live | Working now, within its expiry. |
| Recoverable | Expired within the last 30 days. Creator and above can bring it back for 24 hours. |
| Offline | Expired longer ago, or otherwise no longer serving anything. |
Editing a link#
The pencil opens a panel from the right with the settings grouped as General, Access and Password. Name, description and expiry are under General; who may open it and the list of approved addresses under Access; setting, changing or removing the password under Password. On accounts where it has been switched on there is also a Files section for adding and removing files.
Edit link
Clear the field for no expiry (paid plans only).
Turn on to remove the current password on save.
Revoking a link#
The bin icon deletes the link. You are asked to confirm, because it cannot be undone, and then it is over immediately: the page, the previews, the downloads, the zip and any embed of it all stop at once, in every browser that has it open. Anything Trace recorded for that link is deleted at the same moment.
Somebody holding the URL afterwards gets a plain dead end that does not say the link ever existed, who made it or what was on it. Deleting a link never deletes the files: they stay in your workspace exactly as they were.
Sharing the same files again#
A deleted link does not come back. Select the files again and make a new one, which gets a fresh URL and a fresh set of counts. This is usually the right move after a leak: revoke the old link so the copies in the wild go dead, then send a new one, with a password, to the people who should have it. If you were watching that link with Trace, note down what you need from the panel before you revoke, because the trace goes with the link.
Can I see links a colleague made in our shared workspace?
The link manager lists your own links, grouped by the workspace each one belongs to. Files are shared across a workspace, but a link stays with the person who made it.
A link says Offline but I never set an expiry.
Check whether it had a download limit on it. A link that has handed out its last allowed copy stops serving anything, including previews.
I deleted the wrong link.
Make a new one from the same files. The old URL is gone for good, so anybody who had it needs the new one.
