OpenSharing

OpenSharing is the current Databricks name, previously Delta Sharing (since June 2026).

Delta Sharing OpenSharing

Open protocol and Databricks service for securely sharing data and AI assets across organizations and platforms, with or without Databricks.

  • It's an open protocol, so you can share a live table with someone who's never touched Databricks - and in 2026 the standard itself was open-sourced as OpenSharing at opensharing.io.
  • Its scope grew beyond data sharing to cover the full AI stack, with the standard handed to the Linux Foundation.

Limitations: Shared tabular data must be Delta or managed Iceberg; providers can't share tables using liquid clustering with partition filtering, collations, row filters, column masks, or SHALLOW CLONE; notebooks, volumes, and AI models can only be shared Databricks-to-Databricks; and shareable views must be defined on Delta tables or other shareable views.
