File Sharing
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Nextcloud users can share files and folders. Possible targets are:
|
|
|
|
* public links
|
|
* users
|
|
* groups
|
|
* circles
|
|
* talk conversations
|
|
* users or groups on federated Nextcloud servers
|
|
|
|
.. note:: Some options may not be available due to administrative configuration.
|
|
See :doc:`admin documentation <file_sharing_configuration>` for details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Public link shares
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
You can share files and folders via public links.
|
|
|
|
A random 15-digit token will be created. The link will look like ``https://cloud.example.com/s/yxcFKRWBJqYYzp4``.
|
|
|
|
A number of options are available for public *folder* shares:
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../images/sharing_public_folder.png
|
|
|
|
* **Read only** to allow viewing and downloading
|
|
* **Allow upload and editing**
|
|
* With **File drop**, the sharee can only upload files to a folder without seeing the files that are already in that folder.
|
|
* **Hide download** prevents the sharee from downloading
|
|
* **Password protect**
|
|
* **Set expiration date** will automatically disable the share
|
|
* **Note to recipient**
|
|
* **Unshare** to revert the share
|
|
* **Add another link** to create multiple public links with different rights
|
|
|
|
For public *file* shares, you may allow editing the file with one of Nextcloud's collaborative editing solutions:
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../images/sharing_public_file.png
|
|
|
|
.. note:: Password protection as well as file expiration are not propagated using Federated File Sharing in current Nextcloud releases. This will be adjusted in Nextcloud 22.
|
|
|
|
Internal shares with users and groups
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
When sharing with users, groups, circles or members of a Talk conversation, rights for the files or folder contents are adjustable:
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../images/sharing_internal.png
|
|
|
|
As a sharee, you can configure if you automatically want to accept all incoming shares and have them added to your root folder, or if you
|
|
want to be asked each time if you want to accept or decline the share.
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../images/sharing_internal_acceptNotification.png
|
|
|
|
For adjusting the acceptance setting, go to **Settings** > **Personal** > **Sharing**:
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../images/sharing_autoAcceptSetting.png
|
|
|
|
|
|
Others with access
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
In order to find out if a file or folder is accessible to others through sharing of a superior folder
|
|
hierarchy level, click on **Others with access** in the sharing tab:
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../images/sharing_others-with-access__collapsed.png
|
|
|
|
The list shows all users, groups, chats etc. that the current object has been given access to through
|
|
sharing of a superior folder in the hierarchy:
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../images/sharing_others-with-access__details.png
|
|
|
|
Click on the three dots to:
|
|
|
|
* see who initiated the share
|
|
* see where the share was initiated (click to navigate to the folder, as far as you have access there)
|
|
* unshare the initial share (only accessible for the share owner)
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. note:: This information is only visible to the owner of a file/folder or sharees with resharing rights.

Federated 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 by default. Follow these steps to create a new share with other Nextcloud or ownCloud servers:
|
|
|
|
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>@<nc-server-url>``. In this example, that is
|
|
``bob@cloud.example.com``:
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../images/share-federation-1.png
|
|
|
|
The sharee is receiving a notification in their Nextcloud, allowing them to either accept or decline the incoming share:
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../images/share-federation-2-notification.png
|
|
|
|
|
|
Adding a public share to your Nextcloud
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Nextcloud public link share pages offer an option to add that file or folder as a federated share into your own Nextcloud instance.
|
|
Just enter your ``<username>@<nc-server-url>`` just like shown for outbound shares above:
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../images/share-federation-3-public.png
