Share a folder

Extension required: You must have the Bookmark Llama browser extension installed to share a folder. If you haven’t installed it yet, follow our installation guide first.

What is a shared folder?

A shared folder is a bookmark folder that syncs automatically between team members. When you share a folder with Bookmark Llama:

It lives in your browser’s bookmark bar; shared folders appear alongside your regular bookmarks, not in a separate app.
Changes sync instantly; when anyone adds, edits, or removes a bookmark, the update appears in everyone’s browser within seconds.
Permissions control access; you decide who can view, edit, or manage each folder.
Everyone stays organized; your team always has access to the same up-to-date resources without manually sharing links.

Install the extension: You need the extension installed to share a folder. See our installation guide for instructions.
Sign up for Bookmark Llama if you haven’t already. Go to app.bookmarkllama.com. The shared folder screen will show as soon as you’re completed onboarding. Check out our quick start guide for more information.
If you’ve already signed up, go to your dashboard at app.bookmarkllama.com, and click Share folder to start the setup wizard.

Select a folder: Choose the folder you want to share from the list and click “Next”.
- Note: You cannot share the root “Bookmark bar” or individual links directly. You must select a specific sub-folder.

Add users: Select members from your organization.
- If you haven’t added anyone yet, you can invite them by email here. They will be added to both the folder and your organization.

Set permissions: Choose the access level for your invitees:
- Manager: Can edit bookmarks and manage user access.
- Editor: Can add, edit, and delete bookmarks, but cannot manage users.
- Viewer: Read-only access.
Click Next to confirm.
