# Share Endpoints
Share endpoints allow sharing files with other users.
## POST `/share` (auth required)
### Description
The `/share` endpoint shares 1 or more filesystem items
with one or more recipients. The recipients will receive
some notification about the shared item, making this
different from calling `/grant-user-user` with a permission.
### Parameters

- **accepts:** `string | Array<string>`
- **description:**
recipients for the filesystem entries being shared.
- **notes:**
- validation on `string`: email or username
- requirement of at least one value
- **paths:** _- required_
- **accepts:** `string | object | Array<string | object>`
- **description:**
paths of filesystem entries (files or directories)
to share with the specified recipients
- **notes:**
- requirement that file/directory exists
- requirement of at least one value
- **dry_run:** _- optional_
- **accepts:** `bool`
- **description:**
when true, only validation will occur
### Response
- **$:** `api:share`
- **$version:** `v0.0.0`
- **status:** one of: `"success"`, `"mixed"`, `"aborted"`
- **recipients:** array of: `api:status-report` or
`heyputer:api/APIError`
- **paths:** array of: `api:status-report` or
`heyputer:api/APIError`
- **dry_run:** `true` if present

for an item to the specified user. This user will also receive an
email about the shared item.
### Parameters

| ---- | ----------- | -------- |
| path | Location of the item | **required** |
| username | Username of the user to share to | **required** |
| access_level | Either `'read'` or `'write'` | `'write'` |
