How Sharing Works
Traditional cloud services copy your file to their servers when you share it. iMegha does the opposite: your file stays in your cloud. The recipient gets a special key to view it directly from your infrastructure.
Sharing a File with a Colleague
You need a second opinion on a case
You have a file you want to share with a colleague. You select the file and pick your colleague as the recipient. Here's what happens:
You pick a file
Select the file and choose a recipient to share with.
A special key is created
Your browser creates a unique key that only the recipient can use to unlock this file.
File stays in your cloud
The file never moves. Only the key is sent to the recipient. One file, one location.
Recipient views in their browser
They open it in their browser. The file is viewed directly from your cloud — no download, no copy.
You revoke anytime
Delete the recipient's key. They can no longer view the file. Access gone instantly.
What's Different?
Traditional sharing
- File gets copied to the provider's servers
- The provider can read your file
- File exists in multiple locations
- Revoking may not delete copies
iMegha sharing
- File stays in your cloud
- Nobody can read it without the key
- One copy, one location
- Revoke = key deleted = access gone
Revoking Access
When you revoke a share, the recipient's key is deleted. Without that key, they can no longer unlock the file — even if they had a cached copy of the locked version. It's just scrambled data without the key.
Audit trail
Every share, view, and download is logged in your cloud's audit trail. You can see exactly who accessed what and when — all from your own infrastructure, not from iMegha.
Folders & Albums
You can share entire folders and photo albums too. When you share a folder, everyone with access can view all files inside it. Share one folder with a colleague instead of sending files one by one.
Sharing with Guest Accounts
You can share with Guest accounts (free, no cloud account needed). Guests can view shared files in their browser but can't upload or share their own. Recipients view files in-browser only — no downloads, no copies. Perfect for clients or anyone who just needs to view content securely.
