Share files and collaborate
Share any Kazi document with a link, by WhatsApp, Kazi Mail or Gmail, or as a QR code, with view, comment or edit access.
Click Share in the top bar while a file is open.
Share with a link
- Choose what people can do:
- View: read only;
- Comment: read and leave comments;
- Edit: make changes.
- Click Copy link. Anyone with the link can open the file and add it to their own Kazi vault.
The link includes a private key, so only people you send it to can open it.
Quick share
From the same window you can send the link straight away:
| Option | What happens |
|---|---|
| Opens WhatsApp with the link ready to send | |
| Kazi Mail | Opens a new email in Kazi Mail with the link |
| Gmail | Opens a Gmail draft with the link |
| More | Uses your device's share menu (phones and tablets) |
| QR code | Scan with a phone camera to open the file |
Share a copy instead
If the other person doesn't use Kazi, send a file instead: use File → Export in any app to save a Word, PowerPoint, PDF, CSV or Markdown copy, then attach it to an email. In Kazi Mail you can attach files straight from your Vault.
Opening a shared link
Shared links open in Kazi in the browser. The recipient can read the file without an account, and can save it to their own vault to keep a copy.
