Using Federation Shares
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
Federation Sharing allows you to mount file shares from remote Nextcloud servers, in effect
|
|
creating your own cloud of Nextclouds. You can create direct share links with
|
|
users on other Nextcloud servers.
|
|
|
|
Creating a new Federation Share
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Federation sharing is enabled on new or upgraded Nextcloud installations
|
|
by default. Follow these steps to create a new share with other Nextcloud or ownCloud 9+ servers:
|
|
|
|
1. Go to your ``Files`` page and click the **Share** icon on the file or directory
|
|
you want to share. In the sidebar enter the username and URL of the remote user
|
|
in this form: ``<username>@<oc-server-url>``. The form automatically confirms the address
|
|
that you type and labels it as "remote". Click on the label.

|
|
|
2. When your local Nextcloud server makes a successful connection with the remote
|
|
Nextcloud server you'll see a confirmation. Your only share option is **Can
|
|
edit**.
|
|
|
|
Click the Share button anytime to see who you have shared your file with. Remove
|
|
your linked share anytime by clicking the trash can icon. This only unlinks the
|
|
share, and does not delete any files.
|
|
|
|
Creating a new Federated Cloud Share via email
|
|
----------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Use this method when you are sharing with users on ownCloud 8.x and older.
|
|
|
|
What if you do not know the username or URL? Then you can have Nextcloud create
|
|
the link for you and email it to your recipient.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
When your recipient receives your email they will have to take a number of
|
|
steps to complete the share link. First they must open the link you sent them in
|
|
a Web browser, and then click the **Add to your Nextcloud** button.
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../images/create_public_share-8.png
|
|
|
|
The **Add to your Nextcloud** button changes to a form field, and your recipient
|
|
needs to enter the URL of their Nextcloud or ownCloud server in this field and press the
|
|
return key, or click the arrow.
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../images/create_public_share-9.png
|
|
|
|
Next, they will see a dialog asking to confirm. All they have to do is click
|
|
the **Add remote share** button and they're finished.
|
|
|
|
Remove your linked share anytime by clicking the trash can icon. This only
|
|
unlinks the share, and does not delete any files.
