This brings us to the Sharing Link option. In contrast to Direct Access, it is for situations when you want to give additional access to a given file or folder to people who do not have access to the site itself (direct access). For example, say John and Mary are site members; hence, they have access to the files and folders inside. However, I also want Lisa to have access to a file or folder without giving access to the whole site. That is where I can share a link and invite Lisa to just the file or folder I want.
