Sharing lets someone else use one of your phones without giving it up. You stay the owner, they get to open it, and you can end it at any time.
Invite someone
-
Open the phone's Sharing row
On the phone's screen in the app, Sharing reads "Only you" until someone is invited. Tap it.
-
Enter their email address
They do not need a Skyro Cloud account yet. If they have one, the invitation appears in their app straight away; if not, it is waiting for them as soon as they sign up with that address and verify it. An email goes out either way, with a link that opens in the app.
-
Choose an end date, or none
A share can run for a set number of days or until you end it. You can change the end date later, on a share that is still pending as well as one in use.
Your own email address has to be verified before you can invite anyone, and each phone can be shared with a handful of people at once; the app says "share limit reached" at the cap, and "already shared" if that address already has an invitation. Invitations are also limited per account, so a burst of them may ask you to wait.
What a guest can do
| A guest can | Only the owner can |
|---|---|
| Open and stream the phone | Rename or delete it |
| Start, stop and restart it | Turn root on or off |
| Move files, take screenshots, use the clipboard | Factory reset it |
| Install an APK | See or change its subscription and payment |
| See its resource figures and preview | Manage sharing, or see or change the proxy |
A guest sees the phone in their own Devices tab, marked as shared from you. They can report a problem with it to support, as you can. What they do on the phone happens on your account, under the acceptable use policy, so share with people you trust.
Ending a share
Revoke it from the Sharing row. Access ends instantly, including any viewer they have open. A share with an end date ends on its own when the date passes; both of you get a reminder up to a day before, and a notice when it ends. A guest can also leave a share themselves.
Deleting the phone, or letting its term lapse, ends every share on it. Transferring the phone ends them too, since the new owner did not invite those people.
Sharing is not transferring. A share gives someone use of the phone while it stays yours. To hand a phone over for good, with its files, apps and everything signed in on it, see Transferring a phone to another account.
Whose address is it
The address you type belongs to another person, who may not be a customer. We store it, the invitation, and any message you add. Only invite people who expect to hear from you.
