Congratulations! Your organization is now using ownCloud to sync and share files \u2013 and do so much more.<\/p>\n

You might want to make some files or folders available for public use, that is, for unregistered users. Think, e.g., of a price list or a course syllabus. Unlike in emails, there is no size limit.<\/p>\n

Create a public link in the Web App<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In the Web App, click on the share button next to the file or folder you want to share. A sidebar opens to the right. In there, choose \u2018Public Links\u2019 and then \u2018Create public link\u2019. You can assign a more descriptive name and set a password or expiration date or both. That way, you limit the exposure of your file to people you directly or indirectly sent the password to and prevent outdated files to remain in the public eye after they have been deprecated.<\/p>\n

The password and expiration features for Public Links in the iOS App<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In the mobile app, click on the three-dot menu icon to the right of the file or folder you want to share and select \u2018Links\u2019, then \u2018Create Public Link\u2019. In this interface too, you can set a password or expiration date or both.<\/p>\n

Get the URL for the Public Link after creating it in the File Manager dialogue<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

To create a public link using the sync client, open your default file manager, e.g. the Explorer in Windows or the Finder in macOS. Select the file or folder you want to share and open the context menu by right-clicking in Windows or control-clicking in macOS, then selecting the ownCloud-Submenu and choosing \u2018Copy public link to clipboard\u2019. To get a public link that is protected by password or expiration date or both, choose \u2018Share\u2026\u2019 and then click \u2018Pubklic Links\u2019 and then \u2018create new\u2019. Fill the relevant form fields and click \u2018create\u2019. Then, copy the link by selecting the three-dots menu on the right of your new public links\u2019 title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
