How do i share data from my file explorer using Nextcloud Client?


In addition to the Nextcloud browser version, you can share data using Nextcloud Client directly from the file explorer of your device. This is how you do it:

2. Hover the cursor above the folder or file and click the right button of the mouse. In the menu that opens, select "Share via Nextcloud":

3. In the menu that opens, select "Sharing options":

4. If you want to share the data with a general link, simply click the plus icon, and the link is directly created. You can manage the share settings to your liking:

Now, copy the link to clipboard by clicking the clipboard icon and send it separately to the persons who need the link:

5. If you want to share the data with another JYU Nextcloud user, type the surname and first name in the address field and click Enter. This way the shared content appears directly in the recipient's Nextcloud directory. From the settings menu behind the the three dot icon, you can manage the settings to your liking: 

When you check the 'Can edit' box, the recipient gets full editing rights to the content:

6. If you are sharing the data via email to a recipient that is not a JYU Nextcloud user, type the email address in the address field and click Enter. After opening the link by clicking Enter, you can manage the share settings in the same way as in the example above.
