You can create public links to files and folders in your OpenCloud or Nextcloud account and pass them on to other people. You have the following options:
Create multiple links for each object and give each link a name
Protect a link with a password
Set an expiration date for a link
Edit or remove links
How to create a public link:
Select a file or folder in your OpenCloud or Nextcloud account in the display area.
Click the icon in the toolbar. You can also use the context menu.
Create a new link. Enter a name for the link.
Optional: To protect the link with a password, enter a password. Make sure that the recipient of the link receives the password.
Notes:
For OpenCloud accounts, a password may be required depending on the configuration. The password must then meet certain requirements, for example a minimum length or the use of digits and special characters.
For Nextcloud accounts, a password is not required.
Optional: If the link should expire after a certain time, set an expiration date.
How to edit or remove a public link:
Select the file or folder in the display area.
Open the list of links as described above.
Edit the link settings or remove the link.
Displaying links in the Viewer: All links of the object are listed in the Viewer sidebar. For each link, it is shown whether it is password-protected and whether an expiration date has been set.
