{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Configure share settings

**Add Files:** Click on "Add Files" to open File Explorer and select more

**Remove Files:** To remove files and prevent sharing, check the file's box and click "Remove File."

**Link Name:** Choose a link name to identify this link.

**Link Permission:** Grant VIEW or EDIT access to recipients as needed

**User email(s)**: Provide email addresses for file sharing.

You can also set an expiry date for the shared link, with a default of 60 days.

**Allow Unprotected Download**: By selecting this option, your shared content will be delivered securely. Once received, the recipient can download the content as a decrypted file

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.fenixpyre.com/fenixpyre-for-users/windows-agent/how-to-share-a-file-using-fenixpyre.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
