# Share Endpoints
Share endpoints allow sharing files with other users.
## POST `/share` (auth required)

recipients for the filesystem entries being shared.

- **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
- **structure:** for `object` values:
- **path:** _- required_
- **accepts:** `string`
- **description:**
a Puter file path
- **access:** _- required_
- **description:** one of: `"read"`, `"write"`
- **examples:**
- ```json
{ "path": "/some/path", "access": "read" }
```
- ```json
{ "path": "/some/path" }
```
- **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`

`heyputer:api/APIError`
- **dry_run:** `true` if present
