Enable download links for Quick Share

The Quick Share feature allows members to share a link to a web page containing assets from their Mediagraph account. Note that no login is required to access this page. If enabled, these galleries can include a download link. Admins can make download capability available to the member levels of their choice. By default, download links are restricted to Content Managers and above. 

When you select a member level, every account member with that designation or above can make these no-login download links. Because the links do not require a login, there is no way to know who is downloading the files. 

Note that while Quick Share is a great way to share a few assets at a time, the most full-featured and controlled way to share assets is to Share a Lightbox.

To enable Quick Share download links for members of your organization, follow the steps below. To learn more about the capabilities of the Quick Share feature, click here: Use Quick Share.
