zo.pub

Publish a folder to your public namespace and share a link

Every Zo comes with a public namespace at zo.pub/<your-handle>. Ask Zo to publish a folder from your workspace and you'll get a link anyone can open to browse and download the files.

Info

zo.pub is for sharing files, not for running web apps. If you want to build a website or a custom app, use Sites instead.

Publish a folder#

Just ask Zo. A few phrasings that work:

  • Publish this folder to zo.pub
  • Give me a link to share these files
  • Make this folder public

Tip

When Zo is done publishing, it will reply with the zo.pub/... URL. Copy it and send it to whoever needs it.

Visitors don't need a Zo account. They land on a clean listing page with the files in your folder — name, size, date — and can click any file to view or download it. Subfolders are browsable. The whole folder can also be downloaded as a single zip or tar archive.

Your public page#

zo.pub/<your-handle> lists every folder you've published, with a quick summary of each. Anyone with your handle can bookmark this page to see what you're sharing.

URLs#

zo.pub/<your-handle>Every folder you've published
zo.pub/<your-handle>/<folder>One folder's files
zo.pub/<your-handle>/<folder>/<file>A single file

Updating or removing a folder#

Ask Zo to update or take it down:

  • Update my vacation folder on zo.pub
  • Republish this folder — I added new files
  • Take down the folder I published called "drafts"

Updates replace the contents of the folder at the same URL, so the link you already shared keeps working.

What zo.pub isn't#

Warning

Anything you publish to zo.pub is public. There's no private mode and no password protection. Anyone with the link can open the folder and download the files.

If you need per-user access, logins, or custom logic, use Sites or set up a custom domain with your own auth.

Good things to publish: photos, data exports, portfolio PDFs, meeting recordings, static reports, anything you'd otherwise email as a download link. Anything you wouldn't want strangers to see should stay in your Files workspace.
