Once logged in the user is presented with their mapped clouds:

From here files can be shared as links can be shared from any of the mapped cloud directories:

When the link is shared, if Auditing is turned on within the SME Account, then the link generation will be recorded in the Audit log and once the remote user opens the link the remote IP address will also be recorded.

The SME Chrome extension works with any free/personal, team, or on-premise account and works with over 45 public/private cloud storage providers.
