Managing items you have shared
After sharing an item with others, you can make changes to the share by adding items, deleting items, or changing the recipients.
After you make changes to shared items, the changes are automatically sent to all recipients.
How to update shared items
- Folder Shares - You can update the contents of a shared folder by add or removing items to the shared folder. To change recipients or permissions on a folder share use the Share Center
- Individual Item Shares - All changes to individual item shares are made in the Share Center.
Tip:
Whenever you edit shared items, for example updating a password, those changes are automatically sent to the recipients.
To change an existing share from any device, first go to the Share Center. Follow the steps for your device below.
Keep the following in mind as you manage shared items:
- Item or share — A share can contain items or a folder, but not both simultaneously.
- Revoking access to a shared item — The share originator can revoke access to shared items at any time.
- Declining a share — The recipient can decline any shared item at any time.

When are changes sent to recipients
Changes to shared items are sent to the recipients in one of two ways:
- Changes made by editing individual items, like updating a password, the changes sent to the recipients the next time your device does a backup. The default interval for backups is every 5 minutes. The recipients will receive the changes the first time their device does a backup AFTER your backup occurs.
- Changes made via the share center are sent when you save your changes in the Share Center. The recipients will receive the changes the first time their device does a backup AFTER your changes are saved.
