Collection sharing gives recipients a way to browse and download selected work without editing your library.
Creating collection shares is available only for eligible independent self-service personal accounts. Team accounts, organization accounts, and enterprise accounts cannot create collection shares through this feature. A shared collection must be a manual collection. Smart collections and entities are not shareable collections.
Open a manual collection’s share action. Choose who can access it, choose a link lifetime, and create the link. Copy the link for your recipients. The dialog offers Everyone with link and Only specific people. Restricted recipients must sign in with an identity allowed by the share. Public-link recipients can view without enabling their own Assets library. Link lifetime options are Never, 1 day, 7 days, and 30 days. “Never” means the share has no scheduled expiry. It does not extend the lifetime of the underlying files.

What recipients see

Recipients get a viewing surface for the shared collection. They can preview supported media and download available files, including a selection as a ZIP. They cannot edit, delete, favorite, or reorganize your source collection. The shared media view does not expose generation prompts or request details. Review the media itself before sharing: visible content in an image or video is still visible to recipients. The view follows the shared collection’s available contents. It is not an immutable snapshot or a copy of the files.

Update or stop sharing

Reopen the share dialog to update the audience or expiry. Use Stop sharing to revoke the link. Expired, revoked, deleted, or otherwise unavailable shares can no longer be opened through that link. Revoking a share does not recall copies recipients have already downloaded. Removing a library item or changing share access is also distinct from deleting or restricting a CDN file. See Retention and deletion and File access controls.
