Share files and folders in GARMTECH Cloud Storage (Nextcloud)

GARMTECH Cloud Storage (Nextcloud) lets you share files and folders securely with colleagues and external recipients.

Share with another Cloud Storage user

1. Log in to your Cloud Storage in a browser.
2. Find the file or folder you want to share.
3. Click the Share icon.
4. In Share with users or groups, type the username/email of the recipient.
5. Set permissions (view/edit/create/delete) if available.

Create a public share link

1. Open the Share panel for the file or folder.
2. Enable Share link.
3. (Recommended) Configure link security:
   • Password — protects the link from being opened by anyone who gets it.
   • Expiration date — disables the link automatically after the selected date.
   • Allow editing / upload — enable only if you really need recipients to upload files.
4. Copy the link and send it to the recipient (send the password separately).

Stop sharing or change access

1. Open the share panel again.
2. Remove a user from the share list or disable the public link.
3. Changes apply immediately.

Good security practices

• Use password + expiration for external links.
• Give the minimum permissions required (view-only if possible).
• Review existing shares periodically, especially for folders.
