Table of contents
You can share your Hub like any other Box content. You can select only one of the two permission levels: Viewer or Editor, or make a user a Co-Owner of the Hub.
Important
As of now, users need a Box account (any plan) to view or collaborate on a Box Hub.
You can also create a publicly shared link to share a Hub.
By default, you can't invite external users to collaborate on a Hub. To allow it, you need to turn this restriction off in your Hub settings. See section Co-owner and editor settings on a Hub level in Creating and Deleting a Hub for more information on Hub settings.
Sharing with groups
Only groups with permissions other than Admins Only show up on the list of groups you can share a Hub with. Make sure you have the necessary permissions to add the group. For details, see Creating and Managing Groups.
Sharing using a shared link
You can create a shared link to quickly send it to people from your enterprise and outside of it. Both the internal and external users have to sign in to Box to access the content of a Hub, unless you chose the permission level People with the link.
If you access Box Hubs through a shared link and you have an editor access to some files or folders, you can't edit them from a Hub level. For more information on shared links see Creating Shared Links.
Shared link settings
As a Hub editor, you can configure the shared link options. For more information, see Configuring Individual Shared Link Settings.
If you have the Viewer permissions, you can check what settings are in place for a specific shared link to learn what you can do with it.
To enable the chosen setting, tick the checkbox under the option. The available options are:
- Password Protect - Require password
- Non-private custom URL - Publish content broadly with a custom, non-private URL
- Allow Download - Allow users with the shared link to download this item
If there is a Shield policy in place that restricts downloads, the Download button is visible only in Preview.
Removing collaborators
To remove collaborators from a Hub:
- Click the Share button.
- Click Shared with.
- Click Manage All.
- Choose Remove from the drop-down list.
