Manage Access: Users can see and manage who has access to the shared file.

It also allows for granting additional access, stopping sharing, or setting controls for how recipients access the shared files and folders.

Links: All sharing links created for the file or folder and their associated access can be viewed and managed by clicking on the “Links” tab.
