The owner of the file can share an encrypted file to any other wallet address, this code example demonstrates the same.

{% tabs %} {% tab title="JS SDK" %}

const shareFile = async () => {
  try {
    // CID of the encrypted file that you want to share
    // CID is generated by uploading a file with encryption
    // Only the owner of the file can share it with another wallet address
    const cid = 'YOUR_CID' // Example: "Qma7Na9sEdeM6aQeu6bUFW54HktNnW2k8g226VunXBhrn7";
    const publicKey = 'YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY' // Example: "0xa3c960b3ba29367ecbcaf1430452c6cd7516f588";
    const signedMessage = "SIGNATURE/JWT"
    const publicKeyUserB = ["RECEIVER_PUBLIC_KEY"] //Example: 0x487fc2fE07c593EAb555729c3DD6dF85020B5160

    const shareResponse = await lighthouse.shareFile(
      publicKey,
      publicKeyUserB,
      cid,
