Share a whole folder, and keep one shared with you

A folder is shared the way a document is: a link anyone can open, with an end date and a password if you want them, or named addresses that sign in and are emailed the link. The reader gets the whole tree with working links between pages, and signed in can save all of it to their own account in one press. Folders shared with you appear under Shared with me.

A Confluence space, a Notion workspace or an Obsidian vault arrives in TransformPipe as a folder of pages. Until now it could be handed on only as one read-only link that anybody holding it could open. Now a folder is shared exactly the way a single document is.

Three modes, the same as a document

Open a folder's menu — the Share button over the list, or a right click on the folder in the tree — and pick:

  • Private. Only you. Going back to private ends the link for good, so an address already sent stops working.
  • Anyone with the link. A read-only page at /f/<token> with the whole tree and every page in it. It can stop on a date you choose and ask for a password; the password is kept only as a hash, and a reader who gives it is remembered for a day.
  • Specific people. Add addresses one at a time; each is emailed the link, and opening it means signing in as that address. Nobody else gets in, and you can see which of them have opened it.

Links between pages keep working inside the shared folder: a page that linked to another page of the same export opens that page under the same link, not something private in your account.

Keeping a copy

A reader who is signed in can press Save to my account. Every folder and every page is copied into their own account, nested as it was, in the export's order, with the links between pages pointed at their copies. It is a copy: what the owner changes afterwards does not reach it, and the reader can rename, move and share their copy like anything else of theirs.

Folders addressed to you by name appear under Shared with me in the history, above the documents, with who shared each one.
