Sharing a link to a file or folder

Generate and share links to files or folders stored on Suite with other team members.

Updated over a week ago

Suite enables you to easily share links with your team that point to a specific file or folder location.

ℹ️ Currently, Suite can only natively generate shareable links from macOS through Finder's Quick Actions. However, these links are usable in macOS and Windows.

Step 1: Right-click on the file or folder on Suite you wish to share, then select Copy Link.

⚠️ Don't see Copy Link listed under Finder's Quick Actions?

macOS 14.x (Sonoma)

  1. In Finder, launch System Settings.

  2. In System Settings, go to: Privacy & Security > Others > Extensions > Added extensions

  3. Scroll down to Suite and enable Finder extensions.

macOS 15.2.x (Sequoia) and newer

  1. In Finder, launch System Settings.

  2. In System Settings, go to: General > Login Items & Extensions > Extensions > File Providers > ℹ️

  3. In the File Providers list, enable Suite.

macOS 15.0-15.1.x (Sequoia)

  1. Run the following command in Terminal to list available Finder extensions:
    ​pluginkit -mAD -p com.apple.FinderSync -vvv
    ​

  2. Use the UUID listed for the Suite extension (Parent Name = Suite) to enable a specific extension:
    ​pluginkit -e "use" -u "UUID_OF_EXTENSION"

Once you take the steps that match with the version of macOS you're using, Copy Link will be available in Finder. (See: Step 1)

Step 2: Paste that link into your message, email, or document and share it with your teammates.

Once a team member clicks that link, they'll go straight to the corresponding file or folder on Suite.

✅ Additional Considerations

  • Your teammate must launch the Suite application to access the files and folders via your shared link.

  • Your teammate must have permissions to the file/folder you shared with them.

  • Some host apps may not render a suite:// URL as a clickable hyperlink once you paste it into a message or document. In such instances, your teammates can copy the link and paste it directly into a web browser to open it.
