The difference between Forwarding and Sharing a transfer

We use two different concepts when it comes to giving a transfer to someone else.

Forwarding

Forwarding is possible on any transfer that you have sent or that you have received through any inbox in your organization. Forwarding meaning that you add new recipient to a transfer, generating a new trackable link which is sent to this new recipients e-mail address.

Sharing

Sharing is possible on any transfer and does not create a new recipient on the transfer. If you are the receiver of this transfer, you will simply share your trackable link, meaning if the person you share with download any files from it, you will be tracked as the downloader. If you share a transfer that you sent, you will simply share an untrackable link to the download page and it gets sent to their e-mail address.
