​
Sharing a File or Folder

You can share from several places in the app:
  • Right-click a file or folder in the file tree and select Share
  • Open the Info Panel and click the Sharing tab
  • Use the Share button in the dashboard folder view
When you share a file or folder, Rendzo creates a public share with a unique link automatically. Toggle Public link on to generate a shareable URL. Anyone with the link can view your content on a standalone map page.

Sharing

  • Allow download — Let visitors download the original GPX files (on by default)
  • Regenerate link — Invalidate the current URL and create a new one. Useful if you shared a link you want to revoke

The share URL looks like: rendzo.com/shared/abc123?code=...
The link includes a secure access code. Simply deleting the share ID from the URL won’t give anyone access — both parts are required.

​
Inviting People

Inviting people by email requires a Pro subscription. Public links are available on all plans. All plans can receive a shared File/Folder as a Viewer or Editor.
Switch to the People tab in the share dialog to invite specific users by email.

Sharing

  • Enter their email address
  • Choose a role: Viewer or Editor
  • Click Send

Invited users will see the share in their Shared with Me folder after accepting.

​
Roles

  • Viewer — Can view files and tracks on the map. Cannot edit, upload media, or rename.
  • Editor — Full editing access: modify routes, add waypoints, upload media, and rename files.
Editors can upload and delete media on your files. Media they upload counts toward your storage and belongs to your account.

​
Shared Map Preview

When someone opens your share link, they see a full-screen map with:
  • All shared tracks rendered with their colors
  • Waypoints with symbols and cover photos
  • A right-side drawer with file details, statistics, and a file list
  • Basemap switcher (top-right) to change the map style
  • Download button (if enabled) to save the GPX files
The preview matches exactly how your routes look in the Rendzo app, including your preferred POI styles and waypoint icons.

​
Shared with Me

When you save or accept a shared file, it appears in a special Shared with Me folder. These are reference files that stay in sync with the original.
  • Viewer references read-only access to the file/folder — you cannot rename, move, edit, or trash them
  • Editor references you edit the folder, tracks, add waypoints, and upload/manage media

​
Saving a Share

If someone sends you a public link and you’re logged in, you can save a copy by clicking Save on the shared map page. The content appears in your Shared with Me folder.

​
Unsubscribing

To remove a shared file from your account:
  1. Open the file’s Info Panel
  2. Go to the Sharing tab
  3. Click Unsubscribe
This removes the reference files from your account but does not affect the original owner’s files.

​
Sync

Shared content stays up to date automatically:
  • Folder shares are live — When the owner adds new files to a shared folder, they appear for all recipients on the next sync
  • Editor changes sync to other userse — Edits made by editors are broadcast to the owner and other editors via the sync system
  • Owner changes propagate — When the owner renames a file, updates a description, or modifies a route, viewers and editors see the changes on their next sync
  • Deletions cascade — If the owner trashes a file, it disappears from all recipients’ Shared with Me folders
If you and another editor make changes at the same time, the last write (server’s version) wins automatically. You’ll see a notification and your undo history will reset.

​
Managing Your Shares

As a share owner, you can:
  • Add or remove files/folders from an existing share
  • Change member roles between Viewer and Editor
  • Remove members to revoke their access
  • Toggle public access on or off at any time
  • Delete the share entirely to remove access for everyone
Files and folders that are actively shared show a small share icon next to their name in the dashboard, so you can see at a glance what’s being shared. Blue indicates shared as view, green indicates shared with editor access.
