+title: Share a File
+description: "Learn how to add file sharing to your app with Puter.js, so users can share files in their Puter account with other people."
+tags: [fs, auth]
+order: 45
+---
+
+Every file in Puter lives inside one user's Puter account, and only that user
+can open it. When another Puter user needs the same file, share it with them
+using the [filesystem API](/FS/). They can then open it from their own account,
+without anyone copying the file or sending a link.
+
+This lets you build sharing right inside your app, so people can work together
+on a file.
+
+## Share with someone
+
+Pass the path and who to share it with:
+
+```js
+await puter.fs.share('report.txt', 'alice');
+```
+
+A string with an `@` in it is read as an email address, anything else as a
+username. You can also be explicit, which is worth doing when the value comes
+from user input:
+
+```js
+await puter.fs.share('report.txt', { username: 'alice' });
+await puter.fs.share('report.txt', { email: 'alice@example.com' });
+```
+
+Sharing with an email address that has no Puter account yet sends an
+invitation instead, which grants access once that address is confirmed.
+
+## Choose how much access
+
+The third argument is the mode, and it defaults to `'read'`:
+
+```js
+await puter.fs.share('budget.xlsx', 'alice', 'write');
+```
+
+- `'read'`: open it.
+- `'write'`: open and change it. Does **not** allow sharing it onward.
+- `'manage'`: everything `'write'` allows, plus re-sharing it.
+- `'list'`, `'see'`: weaker than `read`, for making something discoverable
+  without exposing what is in it.
+
+Sharing the same item with the same person again **replaces** their access
+instead of adding a second share, so changing someone from read to write is one
+more call:
+
+```js
+const [share] = await puter.fs.share('budget.xlsx', 'alice', 'write');
+
+share.mode;    // 'write'
+share.isNew;   // false, she already had access, at a different mode
+```
+
+The `isNew` field is `true` when the person did not have access before, and
+`false` when they already had access. Use it to decide whether to show a
+confirmation.
+
+## See what has been shared with you
+
+```js
+const { items } = await puter.fs.listShared();
+
+for (const item of items) {
+    console.log(item.name, item.mode, item.owner);
+}
+```
+
+This resolves to an object with an `items` array, not to an
+array. Your own files are never in it.
+
+Shared items appear at a **masked path** of the form `/<owner>/<uid>/<name>`.
+It works with any `puter.fs` method, so you can read one directly from the
+listing:
+
+```js
+const [first] = items;
+const blob = await puter.fs.read(first.path);
+console.log(await blob.text());
+```
+
+The masked path hides *where* the item is stored in the owner's account, and
+what other files are next to it. Label the item with `name`, since the masked
+path has no meaningful folder to show.
+
+## See who you shared something with
+
+```js
+const shares = await puter.fs.getShares('report.txt');
+
+for (const share of shares) {
+    console.log(share.holder, share.mode);
+}
+```
+
+This lists shares made by **anyone** holding `manage` on the item, not only
+yours, so an owner can see who else it was shared with by the people they gave
+`manage` to.
+
+## Take access back
+
+```js
+const { revoked } = await puter.fs.unshare('report.txt', 'alice');
+```
+
+`revoked` counts the grants actually removed. `0` means there was nothing to
+remove, which is not an error, so unsharing twice is safe.
+
+To remove your own access to a file someone else shared with you, pass
+**yourself** as the recipient.
