The Shared With list on a file detail page shows you who the file is shared with and their level of access.

In Salesforce Classic, click Show All to open Sharing Settings, where you can:

  • See who the file is shared with and their permission: owner, collaborator, viewer, or no access.
  • To share the file with specific people, click People on the Sharing Settings dialog box.
  • To share the file with specific groups, click Groups on the Sharing Settings dialog box.
  • To share the file with a library, click Library.
  • To create and share a link to the file, click Anyone with link on the Sharing Settings dialog box
  • To remove the file and file link, if applicable, from everywhere that it’s been shared, click Make private.
  • If the file originated in a Salesforce CRM Content library, to remove the file from everywhere that it’s been shared except the library, click Restrict access.
    Note
    Note Only owners and users with the “Modify all Data” permission can make a file private (file lock) or restrict access.
  • To stop sharing the file with a person or a group, in the Sharing Settings dialog box, click blue X button next to the person or group's name.
