Custom Watermarks on FileShare Links

Watermarking can help deter unauthorized re-sharing of sensitive information in your account.  If you have ever needed the ability to watermark a file for preview or download within your FileShare link, here's how you do it.

 

Note: Enabling watermarking will convert the files to PDF's when downloaded.

 

1) Log into your account.

 

2) Click on the Share tab at the top of the screen.

The features available for watermarking are:

  • Custom text field - You can enter your own text to appear on the file.
  • Position - The location of the watermark can be on the bottom (footer) or the center of the page.
  • Size - The size of the text can range from 8px to 24px.
  • Color - The color of the watermark text can be Grey, White, Red, Green, Blue, or Black.
  • Recipient's Email Address - Selecting this will place the recipient's email.  If the link is generated instead of being sent, it will display GENERALLINK instead.
  • FileShare ID - Selecting this will display the unique id for the FileShare.
  • Destination IP Address - Selecting this will display the IP address of the recipient's device.
  • Download Timestamp - Selecting this will display the timestamp of the download.
