How to share a Songbox

Publish a Songbox and send its link to anyone you like.

Public vs restricted Songboxes

The difference between a Songbox anyone with the link can open and one limited to invited people.

Restrict access and invite people by email

Lock a Songbox to specific people and invite them by email address.

How recipients verify with a PIN

For restricted Songboxes, recipients confirm their email and enter a one-time PIN on each new device.

Password-protect a Songbox

Add a single password that everyone enters before they can open a Songbox.

Revoke or restore someone's access

Remove a person's access to a restricted Songbox, or give it back later.

Collect emails with an invite wall

Ask visitors for their email before they open a Songbox, so you know who's listening.

My recipient can't open the Songbox or keeps being asked for a PIN

Usually an email mismatch, a new device, or a revoked or expired invite.

Why was my recipient asked for their email?

Because the Songbox is restricted or has an invite wall — both ask for an email first.
