Workspace Deeplinking: Direct Access to Files and Folders

We’re excited to introduce Workspace deeplinking, a new capability that links Workspace collaborators directly to a specific folder or file using a dedicated URL. Prior to this update, collaborators could only be sent links to the “Home” folder within a Workspace, and were required to manually navigate to the desired file or folder. With Workspace deeplinking, collaborators are now taken directly to the exact location they need.

How It Works

The same, shareable secure link located at the bottom of the Workspace page has been converted to a deeplink. When browsing a Workspace, the shareable link automatically updates to reflect your location (folder or file). To generate a deeplink for a collaborator, simply navigate to the file or folder you wish to share, and copy the link displayed at that location.

When a collaborator clicks the link:

Access controls remain enforced, users can only access folders and files they are authorized to view.

Benefits

Whether you’re sharing documentation, exchanging sensitive files, or managing ongoing projects, Workspace deeplinking ensures collaborators can get where they need to go.

Frequently asked questions

Can I link someone directly to a file in a SendSafely Workspace?

Yes. Workspace deeplinking lets you share a URL that opens a specific folder or file. A folder link opens that subfolder, and a file link opens the file details page. Before the March 2026 update, links only opened the Workspace Home folder. Learn more about Workspaces.

How do I create a Workspace deeplink?

Navigate to the file or folder you want to share, then copy the shareable secure link shown at the bottom of the Workspace page. The link updates automatically to reflect your current location, so whatever you copy points to that folder or file.

Does a Workspace deeplink bypass folder permissions?

No. Access controls remain enforced, so collaborators can only open folders and files they are authorized to view. A deeplink changes where a collaborator lands in the Workspace, not what they are allowed to access.

Why use deeplinks in a large SendSafely Workspace?

Deeplinks cut navigation steps as Workspaces grow and folder structures become deeply nested. Instead of explaining a folder path, you can send a reviewer straight to the specific document or folder they need.
