Sharing Vault Items & Folders with a Link

Sharing Vault Items & Folders with a Link

Every Vault item and folder is private until you share it. A share link lets anyone with the link view the item. They don't need a HockeyShare account.

Share an item


Open the item's ⋮ menu and choose Share Link. The link is created and the item shows as Public. Choose Copy Share Link to copy it, then paste it into a text, email or team app.

Share a folder


Open the folder's ⋮ menu and choose Share Link, then Copy Share Link. You can also open the folder and click Copy Share Link at the top. The folder header shows how many times the link has been viewed.

Anyone with a folder link can see everything inside it, including subfolders and items you haven't shared on their own. Check what's in a folder before you share it.

What people see


  • The item's title, content and Shared by with your name.
  • Files have a Download File button and images can be opened full size.
  • A shared folder lists its items with a search box and a type filter.

Stop sharing


Choose Make Private from the item or folder menu. The old link stops working right away. If you share it again later, it gets a new link.

Emailing items


Premium members can send items by email. Choose Email from the item menu, or select several items and choose Organize → Email.

  • Add recipients by hand or pick a saved email list.
  • Add an optional message.
  • You can email up to 50 items at once. Folders can't be emailed.
  • Emailing turns on the share link for each item, because the email links to it.

Good to Know


  • Vault share links don't expire and can't have a password. Use Make Private when you're done sharing.
  • Want only other coaches to see an item? Use Send to coach instead. It gives them a private copy, not a public link.

Tips


  • Share a folder for things that change, like a "Parent Info" folder. Add new items to it and everyone with the link sees them.
  • Make links private at the end of the season.
  • To show items on your team page instead, see Showing Vault Items on Your Team Page.
