How to Share Files and Folders

The Share Files feature enables users to upload attachments to their private Nextcloud server, either manually or automatically, without any size limitations. This feature ensures seamless and efficient file sharing by allowing users to manage large attachments effortlessly.

By leveraging their private Nextcloud server, users can maintain control over their data, ensuring both security and privacy. This feature is particularly useful for sharing large files that typically exceed email size limits, enhancing collaboration and productivity.

2. Enter the email address of the recipient(s) and an appropriate subject.

3.  Click the "Share Files" button. This button is located under the “Message” tab.

4. Click the Browse button and choose whether you want to upload local files on your laptop/pc, files that are already on your Nextcloud server, or folders that are already on your Nextcloud server.

5. Once you have selected the files, click the Share button.

The selected files will be uploaded to your private Nextcloud server without experiencing file limitations.

6. After a successful upload, you will be redirected back to the email compose page.

An email template will be inserted containing the download link and, if applicable, the password and expiration date.
