What is sharing?

Sharing lets you provide other Appfigures members with secure access to your downloads, sales and ad revenue data.

Sharing allows for easy collaboration among individuals, or organizations with different Appfigures accounts. For example, you may want to share data with a publisher, developer, promotion site, or investor.

If you were to share your data manually, then you’d have to export the data, save it locally and forward it to all of your colleagues. The Sharing option automates this process, ensuring that everyone sharing your data has the most up to date numbers.

As always, you'll have full control over your private information. You can easily choose who to share with, specific products, date ranges and predetermine how long you'd wish to share for. The members you share with will not be able to share your data with others via Appfigures and you can easily grant, or revoke sharing access at any time.

Keep in mind that you should only share data with folks that you trust! To start sharing, if you have admin privileges, go into Account Settings → Sharing.

What's the difference between data sharing & sub-users?

A sub-user of an account can be given access to all of an account’s features including its settings, members and products.

In contrast, members sharing data have completely separate accounts. Sharing is designed for easy collaboration among different teams. A developer, for example, may want to share data with a publisher, a promotion site, or an investor.

What should I do once I've received a sharing invitation?

If you're not already logged in to your Appfigures account then you'll be asked to enter your Appfigures credentials. If you don't have an Appfigures account, you can quickly create one. You can accept a sharing invitation on any plan, including the basic plan.

Once you accept the invitation, the shared products will immediately show up in your account.

If you'd like to leave a share group you can do so at any time by going into Account Settings (top right corner)> Sharing.

How can I share data with colleagues who aren’t Appfigures members?

You can share with members on the free plan, which means anyone you choose can securely access your shared data for free by simply opening a basic Appfigures account.

Since all parties sharing data have an Appfigures account we can ensure that your data is secure and that sharing is seamless.

When you invite someone to view your data we'll automatically send them an email invitation. They’ll be directed to their existing account, or if none exists, they can easily set up an account.
