Sharing via a link
You can share any file or folder on WEDOS CD using a link, even with users who do not have an account in this service. Follow these steps:
- In the NextCloud interface ⧉ find the file or folder you want to share.
- On the right side of the row, click the sharing icon .
- In the Sharing panel, use the button + new Share link.
After creating the share link, you can copy it to the clipboard using the button .
Link sharing settings
By default, files are shared in View onlymode. To change the sharing settings, click the button … and select Customize link.
The first settings let you choose the type of sharing:
- Read only: a user with the link can only browse the file or the folder contents. They cannot delete, change, or add anything.
- Allow upload and editing: a user with the link can upload, change, and delete files.
- File drop (upload only): a user with the link can only upload new files. They cannot view them (the folder contents are hidden), change them, or delete them. This option is not available for sharing individual files.
To secure the content, select Password protect (a password field appears after you tick it) and, if needed, set an expiration date, after which the system will disable sharing.
You can cancel sharing at any time by clicking × Unshare.
Sharing with other users
The CD Family (5 accounts) and CD Office (10 or more accounts) variants support multiple users, but by default each user has their own space.
To share a file or folder with other users, follow these steps:
- In the NextCloud interface ⧉ find the file or folder you want to share.
- On the right side of the row, click the sharing icon .
- In the search field in the Sharing panel, enter the name or email address of the person you want to share the content with.
- In the list, click the name (email address) of the selected user.
This adds the selected user.
Sharing settings for another user
By default, in a shared folder the user can edit, create, delete and further share files. To change the sharing settings, click the … button to the right of the user’s name or email.
Here you can tick the relevant checkboxes to set the permissions for managing the document or folder: editing, creating (folders only), deleting (folders only), and sharing with other people.
You can cancel sharing at any time by clicking × Unshare.
