Share and retrieve a document

Share a document in read-only mode, retrieve it instantly, and track its validity using badges.

Updated 19 June 2026

Once your documents are in the vault, two needs often arise: sharing them with the right person and retrieving them quickly. This page shows you how to do both with ease, and how to read the validity badges.

Share a document in read-only mode

You can share a document in read-only mode: the person can view it but cannot modify or delete it. This is ideal for sending a certificate or an invoice without parting with the original.

  1. Open the document

    Select the document to share in the vault.

  2. Choose sharing

    Opt for read-only sharing.

  3. Pass on the access

    The person will be able to view the document, without modifying it.

  4. Stay in control

    You remain the owner and can reverse the choice.

You stay in control

A read-only share grants no modification rights. You remain the owner of the document and retain control of your vault.

Retrieve a document

Noryo recognizes the content of your documents. You can search by keyword (a name, a number present in the document), by type, or by folder, even if you’ve forgotten where you stored it.

  • Search for a word present in the document
  • Filter by folder or by type
  • Spot the documents to renew thanks to the badges
  • On iPhone, ask the assistant to find a document

⌘ + KOn the web, open the command palette to search for a document from any screen.

Validity badges

For documents with an expiry date, a badge shows you their status. You can see at a glance what is up to date and what requires your attention, without having to open each file.

Reading the badges

Verified
The document is valid. No action required.
Expiring soon
The deadline is approaching. Remember to prepare a renewal.
Expired
The document is no longer valid. Replace it with an up-to-date version.
Combine badges and reminders

Enable expiry reminders to be notified before a document expires, rather than relying solely on a quick glance at the vault.

The deposit email address

Each vault has a personal deposit email address. By forwarding a document to this address, you add it directly to your vault without opening the app. Handy for storing an invoice received by email.

Frequently asked questions

Can the person I share with modify the document?

No. Sharing is read-only: the person views the document without being able to change or delete it.

Why does search find a word inside a PDF?

Noryo recognizes the content of your documents, which lets you search for a word present in the file, not just in its title.

How does the deposit email address work?

Forward a document to your personal deposit address and it automatically joins your vault.

Use your deposit address to file a document in a single forward.
