Embedding Shares

Shared folders can be embedded anywhere on your website. This allows your customers to visit your website and still access the folders and files stored in your ExaVault account. Using embedding on your website can be so seamless, your clients might not even realize that they are accessing your ExaVault account!

Generating Embedding Code for a Share Folder

The code for embedding a share can be generated either when the share folder is first created or after the share already exists.

3. Finish remaining steps of creating the share folder and click CONFIRM SHARE.

<script type="text/javascript"      

    src="https://your-account.exavault.com/share/widget/3-4ye3ek"></script>   

<!-- end shared folder widget code -->
