# Share storage

You can share [datasets](https://docs.apify.com/storage/dataset.md), [key-value stores](https://docs.apify.com/storage/key-value-store.md), and [request queues](https://docs.apify.com/storage/request-queue.md) in three ways:

* Grant access rights to other Apify users.
* Share a storage by link.
* Generate a pre-signed URL that gives temporary access to a restricted resource.

To use a storage that belongs to a different run, see [Use storage from another run](https://docs.apify.com/storage/use-from-another-run.md).

## Grant access rights

Grant [access rights](https://docs.apify.com/account/collaboration.md) to let other Apify users view or modify your storages. For what each right allows, see the [list of permissions](https://docs.apify.com/account/collaboration/list-of-permissions.md).

To grant access rights:

1. In [Apify Console](https://console.apify.com/storage), open the storage's detail page.
2. Under the **Actions** menu, select **Share**.

## Share by link

Share storages by link using their ID or name. Whether the link works for others depends on your account or resource-level general access setting. For details, see [General resource access](https://docs.apify.com/account/collaboration/general-resource-access.md).

To share individual records or items from a restricted storage, generate a pre-signed URL. The URL expires after a set time and works only for selected dataset and key-value store endpoints. See [Sharing restricted resources with pre-signed URLs](https://docs.apify.com/account/collaboration/general-resource-access.md#pre-signed-urls).

Accessing restricted storage resources via API

If your storage resource is set to *restricted*, all API calls must include a valid authentication token in the `Authorization` header. If you're using `apify-client` the header is passed in automatically.
