In this tutorial, we will discuss in detail the options that you can set when sharing. It is about the permissions that someone gets for the files or folders. In Research Drive, you can determine what a person with whom you share (internal or external) can do with the files or folders. We will describe a few scenarios below and indicate which options you could best use.

- Can share: If you enable this option, the person with whom you share the files and folders can also share them with someone else.
- Can edit: If you enable this option, the person with whom you share can change the files and folders, delete them and create new files in a folder.
- Create: If you disable this option, the person with whom you share will not be able to create new files in a folder.
- Change: If you disable this option, the person with whom you share cannot change the file.
- Delete: If you disable this option, the person with whom you share cannot delete the file or folder.

| title | Scenario 5: Persons are only allowed to upload files, and have no permissions to view or modify them |

|
| Panel |

| In this scenario, persons are only allowed to upload files or folders, and have no permissions to view or modify the files or folders. A example is the submission of an assignment by students. Students can submit their assigment by uploading it, and cannot view or edit the assignments of other students. Another example is that you are collaborationg with a couple of external partners and they have to upload their data while the other partners are not allowed to view/edit/download the data. For this scenario you could use the Drop file function. To let people drop their files (upload only) can be done by creating a public link and choose the option 'Drop file'.
