Outgoing share links and public token downloads

Sharing & links

Share files with controlled outgoing links and public token URLs, for parent downloads, vendor handoffs, and external reviewers without opening full folder access. Not every share needs a full account. Schoolyi supports outgoing share links and time-limited public tokens so schools distribute forms, policies, and event packs externally while keeping the drive permission model intact.

Questions, answered

Straightforward answers for visitors evaluating the product.

Can external people download a school file?+

Public token links provide controlled downloads for parents, vendors, and reviewers without granting full drive access.

Test the guardian link and publication boundary with a sample family before inviting the wider parent community. Confirm that each linked child exposes only the records the school intends.

Can a school revoke a shared link?+

Outgoing share links can be revoked when an intake closes, a document changes, or an external handoff is no longer needed.

Pilot one record through application, review, decision, and handoff so the public status and staff queue remain aligned. Include an incomplete-document or declined-offer case before opening the workflow to every intake.

Are shared files auditable?+

The share audit records link activity for compliance review, while the underlying folder permission model stays separate from the public token.

Record the responsible administrator and verify the control in the target deployment before production data is loaded. Keep the evidence with the school’s procurement or access-review record.

Can several files be handed off together?+

Zip bundles support multi-file handoffs, so an external reviewer can receive one controlled package rather than a chain of attachments.

Test the answer with a representative record and role before making it part of a live term workflow. Capture the expected result and the exception path so the team can verify it after launch.
