# Share a library

Sharing a library gives another user access to the library's content. When a user follows your library, they'll be able to play and download any content it contains from their {term}`pod`. Share private libraries with friends and family or share public libraries with everyone!

To share a library you own:

::::{tab-set}

:::{tab-item} Desktop
:sync: desktop

1. Log in to your pod.
2. Select the upload icon ({fa}`upload`) in the top of the sidebar.
3. Select {guilabel}`Get started` under {guilabel}`Upload third-party content in a library`.
4. A screen appears showing your upload quota and your libraries.
5. Select {guilabel}`Library Details` under the library you want to share.
6. The {guilabel}`Sharing link` appears on the library details page. Select {guilabel}`Copy` to copy the sharing link to your clipboard. A label appears letting you know you've copied the link.
7. Send the link to whomever you want to share the library with.
