Abstract
In some examples, a computer system may receiving a request to allow a second user associated with a second user account to access at least one of a folder or a link associated with a first user account of a first user. The computer system may determine a first profile associated with the first user account, and may further determine whether sharing whitelisting is enabled for the first profile. Additionally, the computer system may determine a second profile associated with the second user account, and may determine whether the second profile is included in a sharing whitelist of the first profile. When sharing whitelisting is enabled for the first profile, the computer system may allow a client device associated with the second user account to access the folder and/or the link when the second profile is included in the sharing whitelist of the first profile.
