# Share specific documents

> How to let users select and share specific files from connected file storage platforms using the Merge File Storage API.

---

#### User authorizes file storage access

Your user authorizes your application to access their file storage service (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox) via an OAuth or similar authorization flow through Merge Link.

#### User selects files with File Picker

Your user uses the File Picker modal after authorizing the integration to select which files and folders they want the ability to access and share.

#### Pull selected files into your product

Utilize [**GET** /Files](https://docs.merge.dev/filestorage/files/#files_list) and [**GET** /Folders](https://docs.merge.dev/filestorage/folders/#folders_list) to pull the files and folders selected from File Picker into your product.

Use the File `file_url` field so that users can easily click to navigate from your product to the selected file.
