To share content with a user, create a collaboration using
the user ID or email
address, the ID of the content, and the role or
permissions level the user
should have when accessing the content.
The collaboration roles
are editor, viewer, previewer, uploader,
previewer uploader,
viewer uploader, co-owner,
or owner. For a full description of each role,
please refer to our support documentation.
Nested objects
When creating a collaboration there are two nested objects within the request
body: accessible_by and item.
The accessible_by object specifies who the item should be shared with and
includes a user id and the type. The type field should always be set to
user.
The item object specifies what is being shared. It includes a type field
which should be set as file and an id for that file. Last modified on September 4, 2026
