Send a link to a client | Nextcloud

Step by step

Click each step to mark your progress during this visit.

1. 1Before creating a link, open the file and check that it contains no third-party information the recipient should not receive.
2. 2In Sharing, create a public link if your organization allows it.
3. 3Choose viewing or editing as needed. Set a password and expiration date when available.
4. 4When setting an expiration, check the displayed date and time. Copying a link does not automatically send a message to the client.
5. 5Copy the link and test it in a private window. Send the password through a separate channel.
6. 6When finished, remove the link or review its expiration. If people only need to send files, use File drop when enabled.
7. 7Test without your signed-in session: confirm that the password is requested and editing is unavailable when you allowed viewing only.
