Sharing via 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.
- In the right part of the row, click the sharing icon .
- On the Sharing panel, create a new Share link using the + button.
After creating the share link, you can copy it to the clipboard using the button.
Share link settings
By default, you share files in View only mode. If you want to change the sharing settings, click the … button and select Customize link.
The first settings items let you choose the sharing type:
- Read only: a user with the link can only browse the file or folder contents. They cannot delete, change, or add anything.
- Allow upload and edits: a user with the link can upload, modify, and delete files.
- File drop (upload only): a user with the link can only upload new files, they cannot browse them (folder contents are hidden), modify them, or delete them. Not available for file sharing.
If you want to secure the content, choose Password protect (after checking it, a field for entering the password will appear) and optionally set an expiration date, after which the system will turn off sharing.
You can cancel sharing at any time by clicking × Remove sharing.
Sharing with other users
The CD Family (5 accounts) and CD Office (10 or more accounts) service variants support multiple users, but in the default setup each user has their own space.
You can share a file or folder with other users by following these steps:
- In the NextCloud interface ⧉, find the file or folder you want to share.
- In the right part of the row, click the sharing icon .
- In the search field on the Sharing panel, enter the name or e-mail of the person you want to share the content with.
- In the menu, click the name (e-mail) of the selected user.
This will add the selected user.
Sharing settings with another user
By default, for shared folders, the user can edit, create, delete, and further share files. If you want to change the sharing settings, click the … button to the right of the user’s name or e-mail.
Here you can check the relevant boxes to specify document or folder management permissions: editing, creating (folders only), deleting (folders only), and sharing with other people.
