# Sharing Folders & Layers

You can share content on Ellipsis Drive in 4 ways.

1. You can set the[ public sharing status ](https://docs.ellipsis-drive.com/getting-started/quick-start/5.-data-sharing-and-user-access)to either **link sharing** or **public** and simply sent the someone the link to your layer or folder using the quick link button.
2. You can invite an existing user [using the API](https://docs.ellipsis-drive.com/developers/api-v3/users/invite-user) or [the UI](https://docs.ellipsis-drive.com/getting-started/quick-start/5.-data-sharing-and-user-access).
3. You can invite a new user via email [using the API](https://docs.ellipsis-drive.com/developers/api-v3/users/invite-user) or [the UI](https://docs.ellipsis-drive.com/getting-started/quick-start/5.-data-sharing-and-user-access).
4. You can [copy paste an OGC link ](https://docs.ellipsis-drive.com/developers/integration-options/use-ellipsis-drive-layers-in-third-party-software)and sent that to a user. This link will automatically have an access token attached to it.

Got a lot to share? You can also share folders. Either invite a user to a folder or place the folder on link sharing and sent the user a link. The user is now able to browse the folder and open any layers of interest.
