How to share from Rakuten Drive

When you share a folder in Rakuten Drive Cloud, recipients receive an email containing a link to access the folder. To view or edit the files or folders, recipients must have a Rakuten Drive account and sign in to their accounts.
You can decide which permissions you want to give recipients when you share a folder. Any edits or comments made within the shared folder are updated in real-time for everyone with whom you have shared it.
