# Sharing Files to Tenants

## Overview

{% hint style="info" %}
**Key Points**

* Files must already be uploaded to the vSAN
* Process is quick and uses a branch command

* Existing Tenants in the system

## Steps

   * Select "Tenants" on the top menu
2. Access Tenant List
   * Select "List" to view a listing of all your Tenants
3. Select the Desired Tenant
   * Double click on the Tenant you want to share files with
4. Access the Add File Feature
   * Select "Add File" in the left menu
5. Choose File Type
   * Select File Type from the dropdown list

**Tip**

Select "ALL" to get a listing of all files available, regardless of type. This will include .raw files (VM disk images) from the parent VDC.
{% endhint %}

6. Select Specific File
   * Choose the specific file you want to share from the dropdown list
7. Submit Changes
   * Click the submit button at the bottom of the page
8. Confirmation
   * The process is near-instant as it is done with a branch command
   * The file is now available to the Tenant within their own *Files* section
